With more than 1.3 million deaths from the novel coronavirus so far, many are hesitant to fly. However, when it comes to infectious diseases, airplanes have an excellent safety record. The air people breathe while flying is some of the most filtered air in travel, says CNN. All major commercial jets have ventilation systems with high-quality HEPA filters. The filters remove 99.97% of dust, pollen, mold, bacteria, and airborne particles smaller than COVID-19. The risk comes with sitting in the airport, waiting in lines, and standing near strangers.
