“Researchers with the Aviation Public Health Initiative (APHI), a project of the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, today released its Phase Two Report “Assessment of Risks of SARS-CoV-2 Transmission during Air Travel and Non-Pharmaceutical Interventions to Reduce Risk.” The Phase One “Gate-to-Gate” Report focused on public health considerations aboard the aircraft, with scientific evidence showing that consistently following a layered approach serves as a strong risk mitigation strategy for SARS-COV-2 transmission on an aircraft. The Phase Two “Curb-to-Curb” Report similarly finds that a layered approach significantly mitigates risks at airports. “As with the Phase One Report, our team found multiple actions that airports, airlines and travelers are taking and can take to lower COVID-19 related risks during air travel,” said Dr. Leonard Marcus, Co-Director of APHI. “Our hope is that this report provides industry and travelers with the scientific foundation for how to manage air travel and lower risk in the face of this enigmatic and pernicious disease.”
