This week a federal judge struck down the Biden administration mask mandate for planes, buses, and other public transit.

So far, six major airlines have all made masks optional. This has left many people confused and worried about what to do while flying on a plane.

Joining Idaho Matters to help sort out the confusion is Dr. David Pate, former CEO of St Luke’s Health System and current member of the Idaho coronavirus task force.
