U.S. President Joe Biden's administration plans to extend requirements for travelers to wear masks on airplanes, trains and buses and at airports and train stations through January 18th, 2022 to address ongoing COVID-19 risks, sources told Reuters.
Major U.S. airlines were informed of the planned extension on a call with the TSA and CDC on Tuesday, the three people briefed on the matter said.
