A federal judge's decision to strike down a national mask mandate was met with cheers on some airplanes but also concerns.
The Justice Department declined to comment on whether it would seek an emergency stay to block the judge's order. The CDC also declined to comment.
"No one's any happier than we are," the attendant says in a video posted by Dillon Thomas, a CBS Denver reporter, who was on the flight. She added that people who wanted to keep on their masks were encouraged to do so.Major airports dropped their requirements but sided with the CDC in recommending that people be voluntarily masked.
The CDC had recently extended the mask mandate, which was set to expire Monday, until May 3 to allow more time to study the BA.2 omicron subvariant of the coronavirus now responsible for the vast majority of cases in the U.S. But the court ruling puts that decision on hold.
