gettyA new case study from New Zealand’s Ministry of Health finds that Covid-19 can spread on long-haul flights. And last month, an Irish study linked 59 Covid-19 cases to one seven-hour flight. Five of the infected passengers self-reported mask and glove use on the plane while two did not. Of the seven infected passengers, five had tested negative within 48 hours before the flight. But the airline industry points to other research that it says proves that flying presents a very small risk of spreading Covid-19.
