What happens to the environment inside an airplane cabin?<\/b><\/h2>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The WHO<\/strong> mentioned that an airplane cabin by itself is not the most favorable environment to spread the infection, because the virus is not in the air, it is transmitted by secretions, and it only lives on surfaces for short periods.<\/p>\n

Airlines have established biosecurity procedures that will help prevent the spread of the disease in the event that someone on board is infected.<\/span><\/p>\n
