U.S. judge overturns mask mandate for airplanes. Hopefully the pre departure COVID test for international visitors will be scrapped soon.

Wow, now this will be a interesting development to follow, a Federal Judge said on Monday that a mandate on mask wearing on public transport including flights is unlawful and has overturned a Biden administration effort to reduce COVID. 

US officials have extended the face wearing mandate for 15 days meaning travellers will need to continue wearing a face mask on planes. 

"Judge Mizelle said the CDC had exceeded its authority with the mandate, had not sought public comment and did not adequately explain its decisions".  Reuters has the full read. https://www.reuters.com/legal/government/us-judge-rules-mask-mandate-transport-unlawful-overturning-biden-effort-2022-04-18/
