"Ideally, in order to prevent transmission of respiratory viral infections more effectively, everyone should wear a mask. Unfortunately, that is unlikely to happen now," says Bernard Camins, MD. This highlights the individual responsibility in a crowded environment.
"Wearing a face mask is still a reliable way to help decrease your chances of catching COVID or another bug that could ruin your travel plans-even though many others likely won't be doing the same." This indicates that personal precautions are still valuable.
"The Thanksgiving and Christmas season is usually when outbreaks of all sorts of nasty bugs and viruses start ramping up across the country," indicating seasonal risks during air travel.
"Given how things have played out in years past-and the fact that airports and planes are so crowded-you might be wondering: Will wearing a mask while flying help you avoid getting sick this season? The short answer is it might." This underlines the ongoing influence of masking in public travel spaces.
