On Tuesday, U.S. airline passengers walked into airports mask-less for the first time since the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.
- Jim Holley walked into Dallas Fort Worth International Airport Tuesday morning maskless for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic began.
Holley is one of thousands who ditched their face masks after the Transportation Security Administration said it will no longer enforce the mask mandate in airports. The mandate had been set to expire Monday, but the Centers for Disease Control announced last week that it would keep it in place until May 3 to allow more time to study the latest COVID variant.
The CDC still recommends wearing a face covering if you're traveling on a train, bus, or the airport something many passengers like Elvia Mendiola say they will continue to do.
