Abstract:
Objective:To summarize the experience of five hospitals in Guangdong Province on successfully transporting retained passengers by chartered flights during the outbreak of the COVID-19.Methods:We retrospectively evaluated the operation and management, cabin arrangement, isolation requirements, and personnel protection in the aspect of epidemic prevention and control.Results:In 11 charter missions, over one thousand "healthy" passengers with potential risk of infections were transported back to China. The medical delivery team and flight crew were kept free of infection, passengers maintained zero cluster infections and no unexpected adverse events during the air transport.Conclusions:Our results indicate how to carry passengers in a scientific and orderly way is crucial for avoiding the transmission risks of the epidemic of COVID-19 among working staffers and passengers during air transportation.
