The United States Department of Justice appealed this Tuesday the sentence issued last April by a Florida federal judge who invalidated the use of masks on board planes and other means of public transportlocal media reported.
In its request to reverse the sentence, the Department argues that the decision made in January 2021 by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and that it forced users of means of transport to wear masks it was within his prerogatives.
Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizellenominated by former President Donald Trump for the district court in Tampa (Florida), considered on April 18 that the CDC order exceeded “the legal authority” of this national public health agency of the United States.
In the appeal, collected in part by CNN, the agency assures “that it is difficult to imagine a more direct means of controlling the spread of a contagious disease than a measure that traps infectious particles to prevent their spread.”
Despite its cancellation, The CDC has continued to recommend the use of the mask on public transport, although as the president of the United States, Joe Biden, assured, a day after Mizelle’s sentence was known, since then it is only a decision of travelers whether to cover themselves or not. the mouth and nose on travel.
