Safe and Sanitize

In January 2020, a warning was issued through commercial air travel that the new pathogen
coronavirus 2019-nCoV could spread rapidly worldwide. Many parts of the world are
still working to contain the COVID-19 pandemic, but international travel restrictions
are gradually being lifted. According to data from the United Nations World
Tourism Organization, 40% of travel destinations worldwide have relaxed restrictions. The
air quality of modern aircraft is very safe. The cabin air is changed every 3-4 minutes and about
50% of the circulating air is mixed with fresh, microbial-free outside air at cruising altitude.
Given that asymptomatic people can be infected with SARS-CoV-2, WHO recommends the use
of cloth face covers in public places. From April 2020, the Ministry of Transport requires all
passengers over the age of 2 to wear a face cover. Wearing a mask during flight is also
recommended by IATA, ICAO, and CDC. Properly worn cloth masks can act as a barrier
to splash transmission in airports and in-flight where it is difficult to maintain social
distance. Passengers should always wear a covered face, except during boarding, eating,
and leaving the aircraft until they arrive at the flight terminal building. Airlines and aviation
authorities have been actively protecting cabin crew and passengers. Cabin crew must wear a
mask with or without face protection or protective goggles. According to the airline, crew
members also wear gloves and gowns due to the risk of transmitting fomites. Aviation authorities
have required passengers to cover their faces as an effective way to reduce the
spread of drizzle. Failure to do so may result in denial of boarding
or eviction from the flight. The CDC, IATA, and Transport Canada do not recommend wearing
gloves during a flight, except to clean or care for a sick person. People who wear gloves are less
likely to wash their hands between tasks and are more likely to be
contaminated. Thermal detection has been applied to many airports around the world as a
precautionary measure against the spread of COVID-19. It was previously used during the SARS
epidemic in 2003 and the H1N1 epidemic in 2009. The idea is to detect a fever and prevent
symptomatic travelers from traveling and exporting the infection to another country.
Temperature control at airports can bring peace of mind to passengers and act as a barrier to
prevent people with fever from entering the airport or boarding a flight. It certainly
cannot identify all passengers infected with COVID-19, and in itself is not an effective means of
preventing CoVID-19 from entering and spreading to another country. Cleaning should progress
from the least dirty (cleanest) areas to the dirtiest (dirtiest) and from the highest level to the
lowest so that the debris falls to the floor and in a systematic way to prevent any area from
disappearing in the end. Regular use of disinfectants on environmental surfaces by spraying
or misting (also known as fumigation or misting) is not recommended for COVID-19. One
study showed that fumigation as a primary disinfection strategy is ineffective in removing
contaminants directly outside the spray zone. In addition, disinfectant spray can cause
risks of eye, respiratory or skin irritation and consequent health effects. Spraying or fogging of
certain chemicals, such as formaldehyde, chlorine-based agents, or quaternary ammonium
compounds, is not recommended due to adverse health effects for employees
using these methods. The proliferation and large-scale travel of COVID-19 continues to wreak
havoc on global tourism and the airline industry. The importance of hygiene
and air sanitation has become particularly salty in recent times, as COVID-19 can spread by
touching surfaces contaminated with the virus (WHO, 2020b). As the COVID-19 pandemic
continues, member countries should take appropriate measures to reduce the transmission of
SARS-CoV-2, which causes the COVID-19 virus, during international travel, references to local
epidemiology, and Identify measures. Comprehensive public health capabilities adequate for
capabilities. You can greatly reduce risk, but you cannot achieve "zero risk." Therefore, a risk-
based approach is needed for international travel.
