MCO: Masks Still Required; Cites Federal Guidelines Despite Recent DeSantis Order

|

|

Orlando International Airport (MCO) has issued a statement noting that face masks are still required, despite a recent order from Florida Governor Ron DeSantis that effectively ends all COVID-19 protocols enacted by state and local governments. Here’s the statement:

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, 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.

Of course, MCO has also recently moved to 3ft physical distancing. BlogMickey.com is awaiting a statement from the airport on the reduction of physical distancing.
