The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) on Friday extended a federal requirement that travelers on buses, trains, commercial flights and at airports wear face masks. The requirement was set to expire on May 11 and will now be in effect through Sept. 13.
The agency started requiring that people over the age of 2 years old wear masks during flights, on buses, trains and public transportation in February following an order from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, or CDC.
Fines for refusing to follow the rules start at $250 and go up to $1,500 for repeated violations.
There are exemptions for some disabilities, the TSA said.
