Tips for those who are going to travel by plane and want to protect themselves against the coronavirus:
The greatest transmission of respiratory infections, such as the coronavirus, is through droplets of saliva from people who are already sick.
Tip 1:
So the first tip is very clear: avoid 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 by the virus and only begins to notice the first symptoms after 15 days.
During this period, the contagion can already be done, so the best thing to do is to be careful with whom we are in close contact.
If the transmission happened only by people who already show the signs of the flu, it would be easier to stay away from only these people.
Tip 2:
another big recommendation comes from experts and experts on the subject: the best way to avoid contagion by the coronavirus is through a good hygiene.
Wash your hands with soap and water whenever possible…
Have an alcohol gel nearby and avoid passing your hands on your face, like scratching your eyes, nose or passing your hands on your mouth.
This is because it is practically impossible to walk in an airport without having to use a handrail, without using a public chair, opening a door…
Tip 3:
Wear masks!
Wearing masks properly helps you to avoid contamination of the coronavirus and also the flu in general.
So this is a way to take care of yourself and other people. Especially because, no one wants to reach the destination of the sick trip.
The idea is to maintain your health as much as possible so that you can enjoy the trip as much as possible.
Tip 4:
Know how to choose your seat on the plane!
According to a study carried out by Emory University:
One of the ways 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, lift less and end up having less contact with other passengers.
And in cases where you can avoid sitting next to the bathroom, it will be a good choice, as the traffic of people to the bathroom is greater.
So, whenever possible, choose to sit next to the window.
As soon as you get to your seat sanitize the space with gel alcohol and avoid contact of the hands with the face.
Some people are concerned about catching the virus by sitting in a contaminated armchair.
But this is actually not a form of contagion, as the virus is not contracted through the pores. But it's still important to keep an eye out.
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 being spread around the environment, if you don't have a disposable tissue...
Use the crooks of your elbow and immediately clean the area with soap and water or an alcohol-based hand rub.
And if you realize that there is a patient who has signs of the flu and is not taking proper care...
Communicate with an onboard agent 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 make the most of your vacation, until the next tips, because after all, travel is culture!
