Study of the risk of corona on board aircraft
Royal NLR has carried out a joint study with RIVM into the risk of a passenger falling ill by breathing in the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 while on board an aircraft. Measures have been implemented to reduce the risk of an infectious passenger boarding an aircraft. If despite measures an infectious passenger is on board the cabin, then on average fellow passengers - within a section of seven rows around the infectious passenger - run a relatively low risk of falling ill from COVID-19.
