DOJ says it will appeal travel mask ruling if CDC deems it necessary
since the federal judge's ruling. Some public health experts worry it's too soon, especially as Omicron subvariants continue to spread across the U.S."The Department of Justice and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention disagree with the district court’s decision," DOJ spokesperson Anthony Coley said in a statement.
"The Department continues to believe that the order requiring masking in the transportation corridor is a valid exercise of the authority Congress has given CDC to protect the public health. That is an important authority the Department will continue to work to preserve." The CDC is currently assessing public health conditions, according to the DOJ. "If CDC concludes that a mandatory order remains necessary for the public’s health after that assessment, the Department of Justice will appeal the district court’s decision," Coley said.
