Narrative:
Our FBO at ZZZ airport has no face covering policy in effect for workers; visitors; pilots or passengers.my understanding is that all/most us 121 carriers require face coverings on board (with few or zero exemptions). This is likely to reduce virus transmission inside a shared hvac space.our FBO has had passengers with active; symptomatic covid infections traveling without masks. I'd recommend the FAA require a temporary face covering policy inside all interior buildings which serve 121 and 135 crew and passengers. This should be a temporary federal mandate.failure to have such a national policy could negatively impact the NAS (if pilots; ramp and fuel personnel have to quarantine at home due to unprotected workplace exposure.)
