CDC has issued a mask order effective Feb 1 at noon for all travel in the US...
Here is the order...
The order states authority is granted in 42 USC 264 (and others). But 42 USC 264 states (emphasis added):
"(a) Promulgation and enforcement by Surgeon General
The Surgeon General, with the approval of the Secretary, is authorized to make and enforce such regulations as in his judgment are necessary to prevent the introduction, transmission, or spread of communicable diseases from foreign countries into the States or possessions, or from one State or possession into any other State or possession. For purposes of carrying out and enforcing such regulations, the Surgeon General may provide for such inspection, fumigation, disinfection, sanitation, pest extermination, destruction of animals or articles found to be so infected or contaminated as to be sources of dangerous infection to human beings, and other measures, as in his judgment may be necessary."
My read is that the order does not apply to intra-state travel, such as catching a bus to go across town, or catching a taxi cab to travel locally.
By the way, for people who wear bandanas or scarves instead of a mask, they are expressly prohibited. You aren't allowed to be fashionable, you have to wear a mask, to let everyone know that you are a compliant little peon.
Rand Paul says, yeah right. If you already had COVID, or have been vaccinated. Throw your mask away.
Here he is on Jan 26th on the Senate subway...

Rand Paul: Those immune to coronavirus should ‘throw your mask away’ and tell ‘Fauci to take a leap’ - Washington Examiner
Sen. Rand Paul warned this week that pro-coronavirus lockdown advocates will “never let up” and that they are defying science."They will never let up. There are doctors out there saying ... we may need to wear [masks] forever,” the Kentucky Republican told Fox News’s Laura Ingraham on Friday...
