Study: international travel biggest factor in death rate. Early restrictions on international travel might have made a difference in the spread of pandemic in western Europe, including the UK, a new study has found. Restrictions on international travel had the greatest impact on death rates, according to a study from the University of Aberdeen. It compared the 37 countries most severely affected by the first wave of the pandemic and looked into a range of factors that could have affected transmission including international arrivals, population density, the percentage of people living in urban areas, age, average body mass index and smoking prevalence. They found a million international arrivals was associated with a 3.4% increase in Covid-19 deaths during the first wave of the pandemic.
One of the study’s authors Tiberiu Pana, said:Our assessment of available data indicates that very early restrictions on international travel might have made a difference in the spread of pandemic in western Europe, including the UK. These findings are particularly important as the world looks to control future waves and strains of the Covid-19 pandemic and prevent related deaths. It comes as the UK government faces criticism for delays in implementing plans to quarantine international arrivals.The head of one of the UK’s biggest airport hotel chains, Best Western, said his company had been “kept in the dark” over the government’s plan to quarantine international arrivals.The chief executive, Rob Paterson, said the chain had made multiple offers to help with the isolation plans, first announced by ministers in mid-January, but “simply haven’t heard anything”.
He said:Other than very broad information about what timings they’re thinking about and who is handling it we haven’t had any discussions at all.
We have connections in Singapore and Australia and New Zealand who are doing this, that we could learn from and easily get on the phone and offer their support. We’re just surprised that we haven’t heard anything.”

U.S. to Require Negative Virus Tests From International Air Passengers - The New York Times

Before boarding their flights, all international passengers headed to the United States will first need to show proof of a negative coronavirus test, according to a new federal policy going into effect on Jan. 26. “Testing does not eliminate all risk,” Dr. Robert R. Redfield, the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said in a statement describing the new policy.“But when combined with a period of staying at home and everyday precautions like wearing masks and social distancing, it can make travel safer, healthier, and more responsible by reducing spread on planes, in airports, and at destinations.”Dr. Redfield is expected to sign the order detailing the new rules on Tuesday. The new policy requires all air passengers, regardless of vaccination status, to get a test for current infection within the three days before their flight to the United States departs, and to provide written documentation of their test results or proof of having recovered from Covid-19.Proof of immunization will not be sufficient, because the vaccines have only been shown to prevent serious illness, said Jason McDonald, a spokesman for the C.D.C. Vaccinated people may still become infected, in theory, and transmit the virus on a flight.
The agency will not require further testing in the three months after a positive test, so long as the traveler has not had any symptoms. In this situation, a passenger may travel with documentation of the positive test result and a letter from a health care provider or a public health official stating that the traveler now has been cleared for travel.

Harvard study says flying can be safer than eating at a restaurant - The Washington Post

The risk of catching the coronavirus on an airplane can be significantly reduced if travelers wash their hands frequently, wear masks at all times, and if airlines clean and sanitize planes thoroughly and ensure there is a constant flow of air throughout the cabin — even when the plane is parked, according to a study released Tuesday. Using these and other measures as part of a layered approach could push the risk of catching the virus on a plane below that of other activities, including grocery shopping and eating at a restaurant, researchers at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health concluded.
“Though a formidable adversary, SARS-CoV-2 need not overwhelm society’s capacity to adapt and progress,” the report said. “It is possible to gain a measure of control and to develop strategies that mitigate spread of the disease while allowing a careful reopening of sectors of society.”This study, from the industry-funded Aviation Public Health Initiative, is likely to be cited by airlines and plane manufacturers as they continue to try to convince the public that it is safe to fly as long as proper precautions are taken.
The Harvard study follows the recent release of a Defense Department study that concluded that wearing a mask continuously while flying could reduce the spread of the virus because of how air is filtered and circulated on an airplane. Along with previous research, the two studies further bolster the case for wearing face coverings. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention also recently updated its guidance on face coverings to say that it “strongly recommends” that masks be worn on all forms of public and commercial transportation. The Harvard team included experts on environmental health, industrial hygiene and infectious diseases whose goal was to develop a “comprehensive understanding of the intersection between the science informing SARS-CoV-2 transmission and the operations in the aviation environment.”

La France a ajouté 16 nouveaux noms à une liste “écarlate” de pays où le nouveau coronavirus circule activement, ce qui obligera les voyageurs français en provenance de ces pays à passer un test PCR avant leur départ ou à leur arrivée en France, a-t-on appris mercredi de source officielle.
Les voyageurs étrangers ne sont pas concernés car ils sont interdits de séjour en France. La mesure entrera en vigueur le 17 août.Voici la liste des pays concernés, obtenue par Reuters : Maldives - Colombie - Monténégro - Bolivie - Kosovo - République dominicaine - Argentine - Costa Rica - Chili (1) - Guinée équatoriale - Kirghizistan - Bosnie-Herzégovine (1) - Moldavie (1) - territoires palestiniens - Arménie (1) - Mexique.

« Personne n’a vérifié que nous n’avions pas de symptômes » : les tests Covid commencent timidement dans les aéroports français

Les tests virologiques pour détecter le coronavirus devraient être « systématisés » dans les prochains jours dans les aéroports de France, a annoncé, dimanche 12 juillet, Gabriel Attal, porte-parole du gouvernement. Si, à Paris, Groupe ADP, gestionnaire des aéroports de Roissy-Charles-de-Gaulle et d’Orly, met en place progressivement des mesures sanitaires, en province, les plates-formes aéroportuaires se préparent en ordre dispersé.
Lire aussi Comment se déroulent les tests Covid- 19 dans les aéroports de Roissy-Charles de Gaulle et Orly ?Comme à l’aéroport de Marseille-Provence, où le souhait des autorités n’est encore qu’un vœu pieux. Les mesures de prévention sanitaires semblent réduites à leur plus simple expression. Lundi 13 juillet, il suffisait de déambuler dans les halls A et B, à moitié vides, du seul terminal en activité, pour s’en rendre compte. Chaleur de l’été ou inconscience, seul un passager sur deux porte un masque. Pourtant, des annonces sonores rappellent la règle à intervalle régulier. Mais, les invitations restent lettre morte. « Les consignes sanitaires ne sont pas respectées », admet sobrement l’aéroport. En pratique, ce sont les compagnies qui font respecter le port du masque. « Il est exigé à l’embarquement et dans l’avion », assure Anissa, agente d’escale au comptoir d’enregistrement de la compagnie irlandaise à bas coûts Ryanair.
« Il n’y a pas de prises de température » Au contraire de Groupe ADP, la chambre de commerce, gestionnaire de l’aéroport de Marseille-Provence, n’a pas encore installé de caméras thermiques pour détecter les passagers fiévreux. « Il n’y en a pas », reconnaît Anissa. En attendant, « les prises de température sont laissées au bon vouloir des compagnies », se défausse l’aéroport.
