中新网6月17日电 据美国《世界日报》报道，美国联合航空（UA）日前宣布，从当地时间6月18日开始，将强制所有搭乘联合航空的乘客于飞行期间戴上口罩，如不遵守规定，将被列入联合航空的“禁飞名单”，凡在该名单上的旅客，将在一段时间内不准搭乘联合航空（班机，具体限制搭机期限，视审查结果而定。
其他美国主要航空公司阿拉斯加（Alaska Airlines）、美国航空（American Airlines）、达美（Delta Airlines）、西南（Southwest Airlines）、夏威夷航空（Hawaiian Airlines）、捷蓝（JetBlue Airways）也都将强化与乘客沟通有关搭机戴罩的规定，包括登机报到、登机后，都会与乘客说明飞行期间必须戴上口罩遮口鼻，如果乘客不愿合作，航空公司则会采取措施，包括将旅客放在“禁飞名单”。
UA率先公布了强制要求所有乘客戴口罩的规定，该公司预定此政策将维持至少60天，UA表示，除非因为身体状况或残疾而无法戴口罩，或无法自行戴及脱口罩者及儿童，否则在飞行期间，乘客均需配戴口罩，吃饭或喝水时则可摘下口罩。
UA顾客服务长殷逵斯特（Toby Enqvist）说，从5月4日起，联航就开始要求乘客戴口罩搭机，大多数的旅客也都遵守规定，而18日开始执行的强制戴口罩令，将进一步加强对乘客与服务人员的保护。
新的政策将由空服员主动通知没有戴口罩的乘客戴上口罩，并提供口罩，假使旅客仍然不愿意遵守规定，空服员将再次劝导并说明政策，并提供乘客一张“飞行中要配戴口罩”的提醒卡，如果该乘客仍然不愿戴上口罩，空服员将提交报告，启动审查程序。
有关乘客未来是否禁止搭乘联合航空的决定，不会在该航班上进行，而是在航班抵达目的地后再执行。
一旦经过审查并将该名乘客列入内部名单，未来一段时间内，这名乘客都将禁止搭乘联合航空。

Roughly 160 million Americans have received federal stimulus checks, provided for by the CARES Act, which was signed into law in March, to help them amid the coronavirus pandemic. Three months later as the economy starts to reopen in the United States the unemployment numbers are still in double digits as the economic effects of the covid crisis continue, leading many to demand a second round of stimulus check to help them through this near-unprecedented recession.
Without the stimulus money already paid out, poverty levels could have spiked from pre-pandemic levels of 12.5% to 16.3%, according to a study by the Center on Poverty and Social Policy at Columbia University published on Sunday. “If high unemployment rates persist beyond July, additional income support will be needed,” the study added.
President Donald Trump has previously said that he is thinking about sending a second round of stimulus payments amid the pandemic, “I think we are working on something that is going to be very dramatic, very good,” said Trump last week.
“I think we are looking at Phase 4. Phase 1, 2 and 3 have been fantastic for people generally,” added Trump referring to three earlier economic stimulus packages from the federal government but only one of those phases included stimulus checks worth up to $1,200 per individual, with additional cash for dependents.
