TSA issues NEW COVID-19 Rules for Air Travel

In a press release on January 31, 2021 pursuant to an Executive Order, the TSA latest change is requiring all passengers over the age of 2 to wear face masks. There are penalties for those failing to comply - they will be prevented from entering the screening area, and “the TSA will recommend a fine ranging from $250 for the first offense up to $1,500 for repeat offenders.” The order became effective February 2, 2021 through at least May 11, 2021. This follows the issue of a Federal Register notice (PDF) by the CDC effective February 1, 2021 regarding "wearing of face masks while on conveyances and at transportation hubs."

Convalescent plasma is a treatment that utilizes plasma from individuals who have an illness and fought it off and may possess antibodies that can be used to treat the illness. The treatment has been around for more than 100 years. The plasma, rich with antibodies, has been studied in other outbreaks of respiratory infections. If you've recovered from COVID-19 please consider donating your plasma - it may save a life! Thanks to several Austin Skiers we know of who've donated!
