Staying Safe While Onboard: What Steps Do You Take To Avoid Getting Sick When Traveling?
Quote from admin on January 18, 2026, 3:05 pmIn the last year, several measles cases have been directly linked to transiting through airports and traveling on flights. The latest case is linked to a passenger in Philadelphia who is believed to have been infectious while traveling and transiting after an international trip.
During the COVID-19 Pandemic, many countries enforced strict mask-wearing and vaccination mandates. These were followed by airlines also enforcing their own mask mandates for those who wished to travel onboard.
Now, with COVID-19 almost a distant memory, other diseases remain onboard and at our busiest airports. Encouraging frequent hand washing, wearing of masks (if preferred), and coughing into your elbow or a tissue are simple steps we can take to avoid catching an infectious disease at the airport.
What other steps do you take when traveling to keep you, and your firends and family free of nasty bugs?
