Mexico Gets Rid of Face Mask Requirement for Air Travel

More than two years into the coronavirus pandemic, air travelers in Mexico can finally take their face masks off. Mexico’s Federal Civil Aviation Agency (AFAC) announced Tuesday that the use of masks is no longer mandatory in airports and airplanes.

The use of masks is still recommended for those with any symptoms related to Covid-19 or other respiratory diseases to prevent contagion.

The news comes after the Mexican government had issued new COVID guidelines advising that the use of masks should no longer be obligatory for outdoor and indoor spaces.

AFAC noted that the government recommends the ongoing use of masks in enclosed spaces with little or no ventilation, but asserted that airports are made up of “large and sufficiently ventilated spaces,” while planes have High-Efficiency Particulate Air filters that “eliminate 99.9% of macro-particles, bacteria and viruses.”

With this latest policy change, Mexico joins a growing list of countries that have returned to normality by dropping most Covid-19 restrictions. Mexico was one of the few countries in the world to keep its borders open during the pandemic.
