We all need to learn and adjust, the community, officers, and public policymakers

Jakarta Taking off masks, eating, and talking during a flight can increase the risk of COVID-19 transmission, Professor Tjandra Yoga Aditama from the University of Indonesia’s Faculty of Medicine (FKUI) has said.

“Taking off masks and eating while talking certainly increases the risk of virus spread, even though the plane is equipped with HEPA filters and such,” Aditama told Antara here on Saturday.

On some travel routes, airlines distribute food and drinks to passengers, he pointed out. However, during the COVID-19 pandemic, they have begun including messages with the meals, requesting people not to consume food and drinks on board, he said.
