New Frequently Asked Questions Related to TSA Security Directive on Face Masks
Published June 27, 2021
Following the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announcement that it would no longer enforce mask requirements in outdoor areas of transportation conveyances or while outdoors at transportation hubs, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) developed Frequently Asked Question (FAQs) regarding mask applicability, enforcement and implementation in outdoor areas near transit.
The new FAQs clarify the TSA’s updated approach. Consistent with the CDC’s new guidance, the TSA will not enforce its Security Directive on open-air conveyances or in outdoor areas at transportation hubs. Masks are still recommended outdoors for unvaccinated people.
