Philadelphia residents are sorting through the confusion after a federal judge struck down a national mask mandate covering airlines and other public transportation.
A federal judge's decision to strike down the national mask mandate covering airlines and other public transportation Monday is having a ripple effect across the Tri-State area.
So Philadelphia airport officials say they're using signage, overhead announcements and asking their employees to remind people to put them on.However, maskless travelers say no one confronted them on Tuesday.To make matters even more confusing -- masks are not required on SEPTA vehicles and in stations and concourses. But all SEPTA employees working inside SEPTA offices, districts and shops within Philadelphia must continue to wear masks until further notice, said the transit agency.
"I think people should make decisions on their own. I wear a mask because that's my own decision," said Susan Kaye of Texas who was wearing a mask. "I'm not ready to take the mask off even though it's not on. I don't feel safe," said Herm Thomas of West Oak Lane.
