As the latest subvariant (BA.2) to the Omicron variant runs its course, the CDC has decided the mask mandate needs to stay in effect until May 3, 2022. Many were hopeful the mandate would be lifted on April 1; unfortunately, with an increase in cases in early April, the TSA will extend the directive to all those traveling aboard planes, trains, buses, and public transportation hubs. 

The CDC is also updating its COVID-19 Travel Health Notice system for international destinations. The new system will be in effect on April 18, 2022, with hopes to capture the following circumstances:

  • Levels 1-3 will be determined by 28-day incidence or case counts. 
  • Level 4 will be for special circumstances; rapidly escalating cases, new variant concerns, healthcare collapse, etc.
