Study reveals odds of catching coronavirus on an airplane
A new study says the odds of catching novel coronavirus on an airplane with infected passengers appear to be relatively small, though still possible.
In a report eport recently published in the journal JAMA Network Open, the German researchers reported on the health status of 102 passengers who boarded a Boeing 737 flight in Tel Aviv, Israel, on March 9, according to the study. The flight, just over 4.5 hours, was going to Frankfurt, Germany, before strict COVID-19 protocols were in place, such as mandating masks for crew and passengers as well as the restriction of congregating in aisles.
