New National Transportation Mask Mandate Takes Effect at Midnight Tonight

NATIONWIDE -- You'll need to mask up when a nationwide public transportation mask mandate goes into effect tonight. 

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Friday issued an order requiring travelers in the United States to wear face masks at transportation hubs, on airplanes, and while using public transportation. 

Masks do not need to be worn when eating, drinking, or taking medication. 

The mandate takes effect tonight at 11:59 p.m.
