(Washington, DC) -- The CDC has announced it will extend the federal transportation mask mandate.

That covers airlines and travel on trains, subways and buses. The extension covers another two weeks beyond the current expiration date of this coming Monday, April 18th.

The move reflects growing concerns about the highly contagious Omicron subvariant BA.2.
