Avoid close contact with people who have cold symptoms. Similar to seasonal flu, the flu caused by the Covid-19 pandemic has a direct transmission mechanism when you come into contact with bodily fluids secreted by an infected person. You will be infected when you accidentally inhale these small particles of saliva.

Therefore, you should try to avoid contact with people who have symptoms similar to pneumonia or a cold, such as a cough or a runny nose. The recommended safety distance is at least 1.8 m.

Travelers should wash their hands often with antibacterial soap and water, making sure to scrub for at least 20 seconds. Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth with unwashed hands. Travelers should wash their hands after touching money, public items (doorknobs, windshield wipers), wash their hands before putting hands on their faces or masks (dirty masks can also make sick).
 

Dry hand sanitizer is used only in the absence of soap and water. Note, travelers should use dry hand gel with an alcohol content of 70% or more to ensure their safety. In particular, avoid using unofficial homemade gels / lotions on social networks.

Wearing a mask gives you a false sense of security. You think you are safe when you are using a mask, but in fact, when your hands are dirty, your mask can become dirty if you touch the mask. This is when you are infected. Although the masks do not completely stop the infection, they can help you limit direct contact with suspected body fluids.
 

 

For whatever reason, you still want to use a mask, you should use masks N99 and N95. The N99 respirators filter almost 99% of dust, bacteria or viruses better than N95. However, the N99 mask is twice as expensive as the N95 mask. WHO recommends that people use N95 masks in polluted cities.

In order to limit the risk of infection from repeated use of utensils, Vietnam Airlines does not serve meals, magazines, blankets and entertainment during the flight, but rather supplies aromatic tissues instead of cotton towels on all flights; Pillows are not available and only blankets are provided in case passengers require medical assistance on flights with a flight duration of less than 4 hours. Therefore, visitors should prepare their own blankets and pillows to protect their health.

If you do not feel well after the trip, you should consult your nearest doctor, talk to your doctor about where you went and what you did during your trip, including bites, insects or animal scratches.
