Abstract

In their latest effort to combat the COVID-19 pandemic and economic downturn that it has brought with it, Airlines are requiring all passengers to wear a mask when traveling. Face shields, bandanas, and scarves are not permitted. Jet Blue is leading the way for rapid testing by partnering with Vault Health to offer to travelers within 72 hours of their flight. Many airlines are continuing their partnership with major medical experts and will continue to work with them to insure the safest standards among travelers. This news comes in light of the recent Harvard publican citing airplanes as safer to be on than possibly going to the grocery store.
