President Joe Biden wore a mask on his plane ride to New Hampshire on April 19.
Photographs showed Biden wearing a black mask on the tarmac at the base and while boarding Air Force One at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland.
He was flying to New Hampshire to visit the New Hampshire Port Authority and deliver remarks on the infrastructure bill that he signed in late 2021.
After landing, Biden said it was “up to them” when asked if people should keep wearing masks on planes.
A White House aide said Biden’s move was done to follow Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommendations.
