The US mandatory mask order is here! Violators may face criminal penalties
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ordered on the 29th that in order to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus, passengers and staff on public transportation systems across the country must wear masks, and violators may face criminal penalties.


According to the new regulations, masks must be worn when waiting for or riding public transportation, including airplanes, ships, trains, subways, buses, taxis, and shared cars, while in or out of the United States; masks must be worn at stations, airports, and ports. Not only passengers, but also public transportation system employees must wear masks.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention also has requirements for the types of masks and how to wear them. They can be commercially available masks or homemade masks, but they must be made of at least two layers of tightly woven fabric, must not be translucent when facing a light source, and must not have a breathing valve; the mask must completely cover the mouth and nose.
According to regulations, a small number of people and in some situations do not need to wear masks, such as children under two years old, people who cannot wear masks due to illness, and when eating, drinking water, and taking medicine for a short time.
After the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, health experts have repeatedly called for wearing masks in public, but many Americans are unwilling to wear them. Wearing or not wearing masks has even become a political symbol in the United States. After being sworn in as President of the United States on the 20th, Joseph Biden signed a number of orders, including the "100-day mask order", which requires people to wear masks and maintain social distance in federal government buildings, urges local governments at all levels to take the same measures, and calls on the American people to insist on wearing masks for 100 days starting from the 20th.
U.S. airlines and most other public transportation departments already require passengers to wear masks, and the CDC's order provides a basis for staff to force passengers to wear masks. According to the CDC's requirements, public transportation system operators should remind and supervise passengers to wear masks, and can refuse passengers who do not wear masks to board or ask such passengers to leave the transportation.
The CDC said people who violate the mask order may face criminal penalties, but the CDC "strongly encourages" voluntary wearing of masks and supports civil penalties.
Starting at 11:59 p.m. EST on Monday, February 1, everyone on airplanes, ships, trains, subways, buses, taxis, rideshares, airports, bus stations, ferry terminals, train and subway stations, and ports will be required to wear masks.
