Two new reports are painting differing pictures about the risk of air travel amid the COVID-19 pandemic

about a COVID-19 outbreak linked to a seven-hour flight to Ireland is raising renewed concerns about in-flight transmission.

Because of the frequent exchange of air and HEPA filters on planes, the study says "over 99 per cent of the particles containing the virus are removed from cabin air," bringing the risk of COVID-19 transmission to below that at stores and restaurants. The report did not note the airline or where the flight originated, only that the travellers had flown to Europe from three different continents and transferred through a large, international airport.

The first of the cases was detected after a couple passengers developed symptoms two days after landing in Ireland, while the latest case in the outbreak occurred 17 days after the flight.
