How to protect yourself on the plane from coronavirus

Infection on the plane

Evidence so far shows that the new coronavirus is mainly transmitted by the respiratory system, in the same ways that the flu is transmitted. The Influenza Guidelines define as increased conditions for exposure to the infectious agent the presence of an infected host at a distance of less than 2 meters for more than 10 minutes.

This is practically impossible get away from a sick person when it comes to making a plane trip, in which we will be forced to stay in the same place as other people for several hours.

What can we do on the plane

1. Limit our movements on the plane to the necessary ones. The fewer movements we make, the fewer contacts we have.
2.Maintain a “safety distance” is the position of our seat.
3.Cleaning of our living space. That is why we must have provide ourselves before our air travel with alcohol-based hand sanitizers. A small bottle with antiseptic liquid is also useful.

Practical advice for airplane passengers against virus spreading

Now question coming? What we can do to protect ourselves during air trip?

We can follow a few more simple tips:

• Choose, if possible, a window seat.
• Select correct and effective mask, and if possible, plus face shield.
• Use alcohol-based sanitizing wipes as soon as you sit in place in order to clean your tray table, armrests, the surface of the cabin’s “wall” next to you, your window’s glass, your seat belt and seat buckle.
• After sitting down, disinfect your hands with sanitizing wipes to avoid transmission from so many surfaces which you have inevitably come into contact with (overhead bin, seats, etc.).
• Limit your inboard movement.
• Avoid putting your hands on your face. Possible entrance gates of microbes and viruses into your body are the mouth, nose, and eyes.
• Do not use the airplane’s magazines located in your seat holder. They’ve probably been grabbed by dozens of previous passengers’ hands.
• Immediately after landing, do not rush up on the aisle for your exit.

With these simple procedures and tips, with knowledge and care, your air trip can be safer, more enjoyable and especially healthier.
