Alaska Airlines says passengers will soon need to wear face masks on flights due to the threat from coronavirus.
The Seattle-based airline says face masks will be mandatory beginning May 11. And employees who can't maintain six feet of distance between passengers and other workers will also be required to wear masks.
The Airline says the Face mask requirement is one of many safety measures it has taken during the covid- pandemic, including more frequent cleaning on flights of places like tray tables and lavatories and blocking middle seats on large aircraft and aisle seats on small planes through May.
