Call it 'mask confusion' as a dizzying set of rule updates on mask mandates in the New York City region are leaving travelers unclear where and when they need to mask up.
A federal judge's ruling has created a cascade of confusing commands about mask-wearing on public transportation.Call it "mask confusion" as a dizzying set of rule updates on mask mandates in the New York City region are leaving travelers unclear where and when they need to mask up.
The Port Authority now says mask mandates will stay in effect at JFK International Airport and LaGuardia Airport but will be dropped at Newark Liberty International Airport. The policy clarification came after a confusing morning at airport terminals where travelers were sometimes told that masks were required and at other times were allowed to wander the buildings without masks.
In a statement on Tuesday morning, the agency said: "The Port Authority will continue to follow the guidance of the New York and New Jersey public health authorities with respect to mask mandates at its public transportation facilities."
