WASHINGTON, April 14 ― US health officials yesterday extended by 15 days a US mandate requiring travellers to wear masks on airplanes, trains and in transit hubs, saying they needed time to assess the impact of a recent rise in Covid-19 cases.

The CDC said yesterday the extension was prompted by a rise in cases and to “give it time to assess the potential impact of the rise of cases on severe disease, including hospitalisations and deaths, and healthcare system capacity.”“So what they're trying to do is give a little bit more time to assess its potential impact the rise of the cases had on severe disease, including hospitalization and deaths and healthcare system capacity.

Delta Air Lines Chief Executive Officer Ed Bastian told CNBC earlier yesterday it was time to end the mask mandate and that people need to “make their own decisions and take personal accountability for their health onboard our planes.” Republican Senator Roger Wicker said Wednesday the administration “continues to force unnecessary and contradictory mask mandates on the public,” while Democratic Senator Ed Markey applauded the extension “given the recent rise in Covid-19 cases.”
