Tips for those traveling by plane and want to protect themselves against coronavirus:
The greatest transmission of respiratory infections, such as coronavirus, is through droplets of saliva from people who are already sick.
Tip 1:
So, the first tip is very clear: avoid very close contact with unknown people.
This is because, in some cases, the virus may take a while to manifest itself…
Therefore, it is possible that a person is infected with the virus and only begins to notice the first symptoms after 15 days.
During this period, contagion can already occur, so the best thing to do is to be careful with whom we are in close contact with.
If transmission only occurred through people who already showed signs of flu, it would be easier to stay away from these people.
Tip 2:
Another big one recommendation comes from experts and scholars on the subject: the best way to avoid contagion by coronavirus is through a good hygiene.
Wash your hands with soap and water whenever possible…
Keep alcohol gel nearby and avoid touching your face, rubbing your eyes, nose or touching your mouth.
This is because it is practically impossible to walk around an airport without having to use a handrail, use a public chair, open a door...
Tip 3:
Wear masks!
Using masks properly helps you avoid contamination from the coronavirus and also from the flu.
Therefore, this is a way to take care of yourself and others. After all, no one wants to arrive at their travel destination sick.
The idea is to stay as healthy as possible so you can enjoy your trip.
Tip 4:
Know how to choose your seat on the plane!
According to a study developed by Emory University:
One way to avoid any contagious disease during a plane trip is to sit next to the window.
The reason is that passengers are further away from the aisle, stand up less and end up having less contact with other passengers.
And in cases where you can avoid sitting near the bathroom, it will be a good idea, as there is more traffic to the bathroom.
So, whenever possible, choose to sit next to the window.
As soon as you arrive at your seat sanitize the space with alcohol gel and avoid contact between hands and face.
Some people are concerned about catching the virus by sitting in a contaminated chair.
But in fact this is not a form of contagion, as the virus is not contracted through the pores. But it is still important to remain vigilant.
Tip 5:
Have travel etiquette!
This is a matter of common sense, but it's always worth remembering, isn't it?!
Whenever you cough or sneeze, use a tissue to prevent droplets from spreading around the environment, if you don't have a disposable tissue...
Use the folds of your elbow and immediately clean the area with soap and water or alcohol gel.
And if you notice that there is a patient who is showing signs of flu and is not taking the necessary precautions…
Tell a flight attendant so they can talk to that person or even put them in a more isolated space.
These were our recommendations for people who will need it during the pandemic, so that they can protect themselves correctly.
We hope you enjoy your vacation to the fullest, until the next tips, because after all, traveling is culture!
