Minnesota travelers mixed on lifting of mask mandate

The sea of travelers at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport included many bare faces Tuesday, the first full day after the lifting of a federal mask requirement on public transportation.

But many travelers still chose to keep their noses and mouths covered, as recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to stop the spread of COVID-19.

Dixie Ford stood with a roller bag as she and her husband waited for a ride near baggage claim, an expression of relief on her face. She said she had a much more comfortable experience flying without a mask and looked forward to flying mask-free on an international flight soon.
