Is It Safe to Fly During COVID-19?
Itching to go on vacation as flight prices continue to drop? Experts like Richard Watkins, M.D., a Northeast Ohio Medical University associate professor of internal medicine who specializes in infectious disease, say not so fast.
Dr. Watkins advises Prevention readers to travel sparingly, noting in a recent article, “I advise against leisure travel.”
Other travel recommendations from Dr. Watkins:
- Drive your own car instead of flying to your destination
- If you must fly, print your boarding pass out at home ahead of time
- Remember to use hand sanitizers after touching surfaces in the airport and on the plane
