EU authorities are relaxing the recommendation to wear masks on planes
DThe responsible EU authorities have started to relax their corona measures for air traffic. Among other things, the recommendation to wear medical masks in airports and on board aircraft will no longer apply from Monday, as the European Aviation Safety Agency EASA and the EU health authority ECDC announced on Wednesday. For passengers and crew members, this is a big step towards normalizing air traffic, said EASA boss Patrick Ky. At the same time, the authorities emphasized that wearing a mouth and nose protector is still one of the best protective measures against the transmission of the virus Coronavirus count
The reason for the easing is therefore the latest developments in the pandemic. These include, in particular, the number of vaccinations, the immunity created by infections and the associated lifting of restrictions in a growing number of European countries.
