While wearing a mask to curb the spread of COVID-19 on an airplane and in airports is federally required, workers at the Wilkes Barre-Scranton International Airport in Pennsylvania say that only about half of the immigrant children, teens, and chaperones who have been flown into that facility on charter flights have been wearing masks.

Now, at least one airport worker has contracted COVID-19.
