Southwest Airlines Says No Exceptions to Facemask Requirement
Children under 2 will be the only ones exempt
Southwest Airlines on Wednesday announced what is arguably the most restrictive rule yet on face coverings: all passengers over the age of two must wear one -- no exceptions.
"If a Customer is unable to wear a face covering or mask for any reason, Southwest regrets that we will be unable to transport the individual," the airline said in a statement "In those cases, we hope the Customer will allow us to welcome them onboard in the future, if public health guidance, or other safety-related circumstances, regarding face coverings changes."
Studies have found some people who have COVID-19 (coronavirus) may not show symptoms right away or at all, which is why people who don't feel ill are also urged to wear masks. Southwest says the mask must cover both the nose and mouth. The policy goes into effect Monday.
