In terms of Delta’s mask policy, a mask must be worn at all times during the flight, except when eating, drinking, or taking oral medications.

The only other acceptable reason to remove it is to put on an oxygen mask in an emergency or for medical exemption purposes.
Incident
This flight-related incident comes after Dr. Anthony Fauci told American travelers on Sunday that removing masks from an airplane is ‘not something we should consider’ due to the recent surge in cases and the presence of the new Omicron variant.
“We want to make sure that people keep the mask on. I think the idea of taking off the masks, in my opinion, is not something we should consider, ” Fauci told ABC.
Fauci also mentioned the possibility of a vaccine mandate for air travel as an additional safety precaution.
“The vaccination requirement for a person who gets on the plane is just another level to ensure that people have a mechanism that encourages them to get vaccinated; that is, you cannot get on a plane unless you are vaccinated, which is just another way to obtain requirements, whatever it is, “he said.
‘So I mean, anything that can get people vaccinated more would be welcome. But in regards to the spread of the virus in the country, I mean, I think if you look at the wearing of a mask and the leakage on airplanes, things are reasonably certain. ‘
The Omicron variant has recently seen thousands of flights delayed or canceled over the holiday weekend, leaving passengers stranded at airports across the country.
