Infectious disease experts say certain forms of transportation carry higher COVID risks if no one is wearing masks. Here's what to know about airplanes, subways and buses, and ride-sharing.
Given all of this, Santarpia recommends continuing to wear a high-quality respirator, like an N95 or K95, when flying and while in the airport.
But even that isn't enough to prevent transmission in a situation where riders are packed tightly together in each other's faces.A woman wearing a protective mask enters a city bus on April 23, 2020 in New York City. New York's Metropolitan Transportation Authority approved a benefits program for workers who die of COVID-19-related causes.
Several experts said ventilation is more of a concern on city buses, where"you're really breathing in what almost everyone else is breathing out," says He and his colleagues published models, using data from earlier in the pandemic, that showed when everyone on a bus is wearing a high-quality mask – assuming they're wearing it without big gaps around the nose and mouth – that dramatically reduces transmission risks. If no one was wearing a mask, and there was a highly contagious person on board, the modelling found that under certain conditions, about half the passengers on the bus could potentially get infected within 15 minutes.
