Disinfectants sprayed in Vietnamese planes returning from China |
It is known that the use of Disinfection Spraying CH2200, a kind of liquid disinfectant, has been approved by the aircraft manufacturers on the planes, as it does not affect the health of passengers and crew members.
In addition, in order to limit the conditions for the novel coronavirus (nCoV)’s existence and proliferation, Vietnam Airlines will keep temperature in the passenger cabin at 26 degrees Celsius throughout the flight time (according to health experts, nCoV usually weakens at a temperature of over 25 degrees Celsius).
At the same time, Vietnam Airlines and Jetstar Pacific have officially implemented health checkups for flight attendants and pilots before their flights to Taiwan (China), Hong Kong (China) and Macau (China), to make sure the flight crew are in the best health conditions when performing their mission. As for the return flights, after completing the mission, the flight crew also receive health checkups, while the planes are disinfected.
Meanwhile, Viet Nam’s new carrier Bamboo Airways said that it has also conducted sterilization in accordance with the regulations of airports.
“We have provided masks for both the ground crew and the flight crew (pilots and flight attendants). In addition, flight attendants are given medical gloves as well,” said a Bamboo Airways representative.
Besides Viet Nam Airlines’ efforts, passengers should take preventive measures when arriving at the airport and boarding, such as washing hands regularly and using medical face masks and gloves as per the Ministry of Health’s instructions.
