Many people travel to different places. Some flights are long, some are short. Infection can easily spread from one place to another. Using such areas like wash rooms, going through checkpoints, picking up baggage and endless sharing of communal areas , may all make a contribution to spreading infection. Good hygiene keeps the bugs away. Helpful hint: Gloves should not be used as a pair of hands. Changing gloves and hand washing helps to prevent the spread of infection.
