The Umbutho wamazwe ngamazwe oThutho loMoya (IATA), ngentsebenziswano neAirlines for America (A4A) kunye nama-28 US kunye neenqwelomoya zamazwe ngamazwe kunye nohambo kunye namaqela achaphazelekayo kukhenketho, babongoze ukuba US urhulumente ukuba asuse imfuneko yovavanyo lwangaphambi kokuhamba kubakhenkethi beenqwelo-moya abagonywe ngokupheleleyo US.
Inani labahambi abagonyiweyo abongezi mingcipheko yongezelelweyo kumakhaya US abemi. Ukonyuka kwamanqanaba okhuseleko, ukuxhaphaka kwe-COVID-19 kuwo onke angama-50 US amazwe, ukunyuka kwamazinga okugonya kunye nonyango olutsha, zonke zikhomba ekususeni imfuneko yokuvavanya kubahambi abagonywe ngokupheleleyo.
“Amava ka Micron ikwenze kwacaca ukuba izithintelo zokuhamba zineempembelelo ezincinci malunga nokuthintela ukusasazeka kwayo. Ngaphezu koko, njengoko Micron sele ikhona ngokubanzi kulo lonke elase-US, abahambi abagonywe ngokupheleleyo abazisi mngcipheko ungaphezulu kubemi bendawo. Abahambi bamazwe ngamazwe akufuneki bajongane neemfuno zovavanyo ezongezelelweyo kunezo zisetyenziswa kuhambo lwasekhaya. Ngapha koko, kweli nqanaba lobhubhane, ukuhamba kufuneka kulawulwe ngendlela efanayo nokufikelela kudederhu lweevenkile, iindawo zokutyela okanye iiofisi,” utshilo uWillie Walsh, uMlawuli Jikelele we-IATA.
Ngaphezulu kwe-74.3 yezigidi zabantu - oku kuthetha ukuba ubuncinane i-22% ye US inani labantu - bane-COVID-19, kwaye loo nto iphantse ibe yinto ephantsi ngenxa yosulelo lwe-asymptomatic kunye novavanyo olulinganiselweyo kwangoko kobhubhane. Xa kudityaniswe nabantu abadala ukuba 74% ugonywe ngokupheleleyo, kucacile ukuba US uphuhlisa amanqanaba aphezulu kakhulu yokugonywa kwabantu.
Imibutho ikwaqaphele ukuba i-EU icebise ukuba amazwe angamalungu ayo asuse izithintelo zokuhamba ze-COVID-19 zokuhamba ngaphakathi kwe-EU, kwaye i-United Kingdom ibhengeze ukususwa kovavanyo lwe-COVID-19 lwangaphambi kokuhamba lwabahambi ngeenqwelomoya abagonyelweyo ukuba bangene elizweni. I-UK igqibe kwelokuba iindleko kubakhweli kunye neenqwelomoya zesigunyaziso sovavanyo azinakuthethelelwa njengoko kungekho bungqina bokuba urhulumente ukhusele abantu kwi-COVID-19.
Uphando lwakutsha nje olwenziwe yi-Oxera kunye ne-Edge Health e-Itali, eFinland, nase-UK zonke zixhasa isigqibo sokuba amanyathelo okuhamba enza kancinci ukulawula ukusasazeka kwe-COVID-19 xa sele ikhona ngokubanzi kubemi basekhaya. Uphononongo lufumanise ukuba, ukuba luphunyezwe kwasekuqaleni kakhulu, izithintelo zokuhamba zinokulibazisa ngeyona ndlela incopho yamaza amatsha ngeentsuku ezimbalwa kwaye ukunciphisa kancinci inani lamatyala.
Ngaphezu koko, IATAUvavanyo lwamva nje lwabahambi ngomoya lubonise ukuba i-62% yabaphenduli baxhasa ukususa imfuneko yovavanyo kwabo bagonywe ngokupheleleyo.
"Ukususa imfuneko yovavanyo lwangaphambi kokuhamba kubahambi abagonywe ngokupheleleyo kuya kuxhasa kakhulu ukubuyiswa kokuhamba kunye nokuhamba ngenqwelomoya US nakwihlabathi jikelele ngaphandle kokwandisa ukwanda kwe-COVID-19 kunye nokwahluka kwayo kubemi base-US. Akukho ncedo lokuvala ucango lwesibaya emva kokuba ihashe libotshiwe,” utshilo uWalsh.
