Facemasks

Would you wear a face mask on a flight?

There’s another virus around. I’ve often had a cold after a flight so am wondering whether to wear one.

No I wouldn't but I do take hand wipes to wipe the trays and do take anti bac gel and use it regularly on the flight. I wipe the loo seat with anti bac before using it!

It depends on the mask, many that youbm see being used in the media are competely pointless for trying to prevent viruses.

No because surgical face masks don't prevent virus transmission and after about 10 minutes are saturated with respiratory droplets making them a risk for infection transmission
