There was still confusion Thursday over whether
or not travelers need to wear a face mask at area airports. On Long Island, masks are once again
required at MacArthur Airport.
A Town of Islip spokesperson
wrote in part, "Long Island MacArthur Airport officials have been
contacted by the governor's office and provided with guidance, which requires
that masks be worn in areas controlled by the airport, specifically, baggage
claim and ticketing areas."
However,
some say the rules are now not being enforced.
“It looks like there's no mask
mandate. It looks like most people do not have a mask on,” says Vera Lonardo, of
Massapequa.
Masks are
optional on most domestic flights, after the major airlines did away with their
mandates earlier this week
