Flying safely during COVID-19: Tips from a public health researcher SajjadFazel
Essential travel
Fly only if it’s essential and there’s an urgent reason. This is not the time to fly for vacations or sightseeing. COVID-19 is still a threat and many countries, states and provinces have seen a slight increase in cases due to reopening protocols and the loosening of public health measures. While it’s vital to get our lives back to “normal,” it’s equally important to keep yourself and your loved ones safe.
In addition to the tips above, it’s important to keep safety top of mind. This will help you make better choices while travelling during COVID-19. A small example is in regard to food and drinks. If you can have a meal at home and use the loo before you leave the house or board the aircraft, you’ll reduce the number of times you have to remove your mask or touch surfaces. This will ensure your flight is a little bit safer.
