The Umbutho wamazwe ngamazwe oThutho loMoya (IATA) ukwamkele ukukhutshwa kweziphumo zokuvavanywa yi-United States yezothutho Command (US Transcom) eqinisekisa umngcipheko ophantsi Covid-19 Ukuhanjiswa kwinqwelo-moya.
Uvavanyo lweTranscom lwaseMelika, olwaqhutywa ngo-Agasti, lwafumanisa ukuba "umngcipheko wokuvezwa kwezifo ze-aerosolized, njenge-coronavirus, uphantsi kakhulu" kwiindidi zenqwelomoya eziqhutywa ngokwesivumelwano ukuhambisa abasebenzi beSebe lezoKhuselo (DOD) kunye neentsapho zabo, I-US Transcom yatsho. Ngaphezulu kokukhutshwa kweerosol engama-300, ukulinganisa umkhweli osuleleke nge-COVID-19, kwenziwa ngaphezulu kweentsuku ezisibhozo kusetyenziswa United Airlines I-Boeing 767-300 kunye ne-777-200 yeenqwelomoya.
“Kwiveki ephelileyo, i-IATA ixele ukuba ukusukela oko kwaqala u-2020 bekukho iimeko ezingama-44 ze-COVID-19 ezixeliweyo apho ugqithiso ekucingelwa ukuba lwalunxulunyaniswa nohambo lwenqwelomoya, kuhambo lwabakhweli abayi-1.2 yezigidigidi ngo-2020. obunye ubungqina bokuba umngcipheko wosulelo ngaphakathi kwenqwelomoya ubonakala uphantsi kakhulu, kwaye ngokuqinisekileyo uphantsi kunezinye iindawo ezininzi ezisendlwini, utshilo u-Alexandre de Juniac, uMlawuli Jikelele we-IATA kunye ne-CEO.
Uvavanyo lweTranscom yase-US lubonise ukuba i-erosos "yayixutywe ngokukhawuleza ngamazinga aphezulu otshintshiselwano lomoya" kwikhabhathi yeenqwelo moya. Amasuntswana eAerosol ahlala ebonakala kangangesithuba semizuzu engaphantsi kwemithandathu ngokomndilili. Zombini iimodeli zenqwelomoya zivavanye izinto ezisusiweyo zisusa izihlandlo ezili-15 ngokukhawuleza kunenkqubo yesiqhelo yokungenisa umoya ekhaya nangamaxesha ama-5-6 ngokukhawuleza “kunendlela ecetyiswayo yokuyilwa kwezibhedlele zanamhlanje okanye amagumbi okuzahlula abaguli.” Uvavanyo lwenziwe ngaphandle kwemaski yomkhweli osulelekileyo osulelekileyo.
Uvavanyo lwenziwe ngentsebenziswano neBoeing kunye ne-United Airlines, kunye ne-Arhente yeeProjekthi zoPhando oluPhucukileyo (i-DARPA), iZeteo Tech, i-S3i kunye neYunivesithi yaseNebraska yeZiko leSizwe loPhando.
