If you’re planning on heading out to the Orlando International Airport don’t forget your mask. The Orlando International Airport has announced that the federal mask mandate requiring the traveling public to wear face masks or coverings at Orlando International Airport remains in effect.
The mandate, which went into effect in February 2020, applies to all modes of federally-regulated public transportation including airports, at security checkpoints, and while traveling on commercial flights.
As the country continues to battle the ongoing public health crisis, the mask mandate was originally set to expire on May 11 but was extended through Sept.13, according to updated guidance issued by the Transportation Security Administration last week.
The announcement comes after Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed an executive order officially suspending emergency COVID-19 orders across the state.
