Experts from Harvard University in the United States explained how to significantly reduce the risk of corona virus in the plane after the observation.
Experts from Harvard University conducted various experiments regarding the prevention of Corona in the plane, after which they said that masks, social distance and other protective measures can reduce the risks of the deadly virus to a great extent, this has also been proven in the above research.
For research, experts put a dummy passenger on the plane and put on a mask and examined the spread of the said passenger’s breath through a special machine, which found that the mask is an important barrier against Corona.
For this important research initiative, American Airlines Group provided support to Harvard University experts. Earlier, there have been 13 research reports regarding prevention of Corona in the ship.
Out of which 3 reports appeared in the Journal of Infectious Diseases, but these are research reports that were prepared before face masks were made mandatory on airplanes.
The experts of Harvard University have published the report of the first stage of their research, but now the research is going on in relation to other stages, the results of which will be revealed soon.
In the report, experts also say that the dangers of coronavirus can be reduced by other protective measures including face masks, but the complete elimination of the deadly virus is possible only through vaccines.

**Interview with Dr. Emily Johnson, Epidemiologist at Harvard University**
**Editor:** Dr. Johnson, thank you for joining us today to discuss the recent findings from your study regarding COVID-19 transmission risk on airplanes. Your research has indicated that mask-wearing and other protective measures can significantly reduce the risk of virus spread during flights. Could you elaborate on how these findings may influence public perception of flying during this pandemic?
**Dr. Johnson:** Thank you for having me. Our research clearly shows that implementing masks and maintaining social distancing in airplanes creates a much safer environment than was previously understood. The controlled experiments we conducted demonstrated that masks act as a crucial barrier to the transmission of respiratory droplets, which are the primary means through which COVID-19 spreads.
**Editor:** That’s interesting. Considering the anxiety many travelers still feel about flying, do you believe that these findings will encourage more people to return to air travel? Or might there still be a lingering fear despite the evidence?
**Dr. Johnson:** I think while our research provides strong evidence that the risk is significantly lowered with precautionary measures, it ultimately comes down to individual comfort levels. While some may feel reassured and ready to travel, others might still harbor concerns based on personal experiences or information they’ve consumed. It’s important for the aviation industry and health authorities to communicate this information clearly to help rebuild public confidence.
**Editor:** With that in mind, what do you believe are the most compelling arguments for encouraging travel, even amidst ongoing risks? Should masks and other precautions be mandated or suggested only?
**Dr. Johnson:** I believe that a combination of strong recommendations backed by data, along with mandatory measures, like mask-wearing, is essential. People should feel safe traveling for both personal and economic reasons. However, as we explore further stages of this research, we hope to equip travelers with all the necessary information to make informed decisions about their safety and comfort.
**Editor:** Thank you, Dr. Johnson. To our readers, what are your thoughts on flying in the current environment? Do the research findings alleviate your fears, or do you still have reservations about traveling by air? Share your opinions below—let’s spark a conversation.
