President Joe Biden's newly-appointed COVID-19 czar Dr. Ashish Jha acknowledged extending the federal mask mandate on public transportation is 'on the table' on Monday.
The nationwide pandemic-era health rule is set to expire on April 18.
The newly-minted Biden official's caution comes despite the White House pivoting to a more adaptive approach on the pandemic, encouraging Americans to assess their 'individual risks' and readying to drop the Trump-era Title 42 expulsion policy.
Bipartisan lawmakers have stood up to oppose the Biden administration lifting the policy on May 23, which allows border agents to turn asylum-seekers away regardless of their status in the name of mitigating COVID-19's spread.
Speaking with NBC News' Today on Monday morning, Jha, who has been one of the leading scientific voices throughout the pandemic, was vague about the mask mandate's future.
He said it was up to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Director Rochelle Walensky to determine what to do when the rule expires next week.
'Yeah I -- look. This is a CDC decision, and I think it is absolutely on the table,' Jha admitted.
Last month, the chief executives of the U.S.'s largest airlines urged Biden to drop the mask mandate, citing among other reasons the 'persistent and steady decline of hospitalization and death rates' from coronavirus.

What happened to the Fauci ?
Why do we need "An emperor; a king; specifically, a common title of the Emperor of Russia." Here in our country especially for Covid policy?
And why would this person be Ashish ?
Is he going to send out brainwashed Ashassins with needles or something ?
YOU? BY ASHISH ASSES!!! MUSLIMS are RUNNING and RUINING our lives once again!!!
They need COVID back in full swing to rig this one, too.
WTF happened?? SORRY!
Well, anyone paying attention in 2020 knew they had to keep this going until at the very least, the 2022 midterms.
They’re going to seal-the-deal with mail-in, absentee and and ballot harvesting vote fraud in 2022 elections.
He says it loud and clear....This is a CDC decision. He only passes on news and opinions at this point.
What he really means is,trying to steal the November elections is “absolutely on the table” . Its the only way they can have the slightest hope of winning anything.
Quite so.
I don’t believe Dr Jha is Muslim. Doesn’t mean he isn’t a political hack on this.
In my dreams everyone would just stop flying...
Oh goody, goody…
When did it stop? Three different airports required a mask. Southwest required a mask.
But remove Title 42 and continue letting them illegals in without vaccines, etc., etc. yeah?!?
Idiocy in this country and the world knows and has no bounds. Bet.
