If you’re traveling on a plane, train or bus, don’t put that face mask away yet.
The Transportation Security Administration said Friday it will extend its mask requirement, which also applies in airports and train stations, through Sept. 13. The rule took effect February 1 and was set to expire May 11.
The agency said that children up to 2 and people with certain disabilities will continue to be exempted from the mask rule.
Violations can carry fines of up to USD1,500 for repeat offenders.
Separately, a spokeswoman for the Federal Aviation Administration said Friday that the FAA will continue its zero-tolerance policy against disruptive airline passengers as long as the TSA mask rule is in effect.
