United States: a judge overturns the obligation to wear a transportation mask
A U.S. federal court judge in Florida dismissed the nation’s requirement to wear a mask on commercial aircraft and other public transportation. He determined that this ordinance exceeded the limits of the powers of public health authorities in the management of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The decision was made Monday in Tampa by Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle, who was appointed during the Trump administration. He also said the Centers for Infectious Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) did not provide enough justification to support their decision and they did not follow the proper procedure for adopting the new rules. .
In her 59-page decision, Judge Mizelle said the only possible solution for her was to completely cancel the obligation to wear a transportation mask because it was impossible for her to suspend the application of the rule only for those who object to it. on application to the court.
He explained that the partial solution means doing nothing but that the court has all the necessary powers to intervene even for the purposes of Centers for Infectious Disease Control and Prevention CDC aimed at fighting the virus is commendable.
Because our system does not allow agencies to act illegally, even for useful purposes, the court declared the mask requirement illegal and canceled it. he wrote.
The U.S. Department of Justice declined to comment Monday on whether it intends to appeal the case or not.
Recently, the Centers for Infectious Disease Control and Prevention CDC extended until May 3 the obligation to wear a mask that previously ended on Monday. The goal is to provide more time to learn more about the Omicron subvariant called BA.2, which is the strain responsible for most current cases in the United States.
Transporter games backstage
The need to wear a mask for passengers has been the subject of months of behind -the -scenes games with airlines seeking to end it.
Major carriers argue that ventilation systems in modern aircraft make transmission of the virus highly unlikely during a flight. Republicans elected in Congress are also opposed to this obligation.
Other dissenting voices argue that many states have ended mandatory mask wearing in restaurants, businesses and other indoor public places because cases have dropped sharply from the peak of the Omicron wave to in mid -January.
Numerous violent incidents have been reported on the planes due to disagreement over mask wearing.
The legal challenge to the mask requirement was filed in July 2021 by two plaintiffs supported by the Health Freedom Defense Fund ( Health Freedom Defense Fund ), which the judge described as a non-profit organization violates laws and regulations that compel individuals to receive medical treatment, undergo medical procedures, or force medical equipment on them against their will .
