1. Examine your health. If you have a fever or cough, please postpone your trip until you recover to avoid cross-infection.

2. Protect yourself. You are advised to wear a medical mask properly throughout the trip and change the mask regularly.

3. Take your temperature. You are advised to cooperate with any required temperature and information checks at the airport and on the plane.

4. Take a pen with you. You are advised to use your own pen to fill out forms throughout the trip.

5. Take disinfectant with you. Since there are strict limits on items that can be taken on board, passengers are advised to take a small volume of hand gel or disinfectant wipes to clean their hands and other items such as windows and armrests on planes.

6. Don't be nervous when traveling by air. Planes have efficient ventilation systems that air the entire cabin every two or three minutes. Air flows vertically in the cabin and high efficiency particulate air filters can capture particulate matter with a diameter of between three nanometers and 10 micrometers, greatly reducing the risk of being infected on a plane.
