Coming up on forum, airports and public transit agencies in California are creating a patchwork of mask policies after a judge in Florida overturned the federal

mask mandate. Major airlines, as well as LAX, SFO, San Diego, and San Jose airports,

all made masks optional. So did LA's bus service and Southern California's MetroLink

Rail Service, while San Francisco Muni and Cal-Train announced they were keeping their

mask requirement for now.

This hour, we hear how you're processing the abrupt change and take your questions about health

and safety.

Join us. This is Forum. I'm Mina Kim. The Biden administration says it will appeal a Florida judge's decision Monday that overturned the federal mask mandate on planes and public transportation if the

as the highly contagious BA2 variant has taken hold, but already local transit agencies, ride hailing

services, and major airlines, in some cases mid-flight,

told travelers that masks are no longer required. Joining me first with the latest on the legal

case and its impact, Selena Simmons-Duffin, a health policy correspondent at NPR.
