Njengokuba ixesha lokuhamba leeholide lisondela, iingcali ngezohambo kunye nabameli babathengi bayaphinda amakhwelo abo kuNobhala weSebe lezoThutho u-Elaine Chao ukukhusela abahambi ngokwamkela okunyanzelekileyo Covid-19 imigangatho yokhuseleko yeenqwelo moya kunye neenqwelo moya. Ngelixa i-DOT ikhuphe isikhokelo sokhuseleko ehlobo ngehambo yokuhamba ngenqwelomoya, ezi ngcebiso zenziwe ngokuzithandela ngokungqongqo kwaye ukuthotyelwa kwahluka kakhulu kulo lonke ishishini.
Izigidi zabantu baseMelika ziya kubhabha ngeeholide ngexesha lokuqhambuka kwe-coronavirus kulawula. Iinqwelo-moya akufuneki zivunyelwe ukuba zikhethe imigaqo-nkqubo yokhuseleko eyamkelweyo ukukhusela abakhweli, ngakumbi ngexesha lesibetho sekhulu leminyaka. Imithetho enyanzelekileyo yezempilo nokhuseleko iyafuneka ukuqinisekisa ukuba zonke iinqwelomoya, isikhululo seenqwelomoya kunye nabakhweli benza eyabo indima ukunqanda ukusasazeka kwale ntsholongwane iyingozi.
Kwangoko kulenyanga, i-Federal Aviation Administration ikhuphe izindululo ezitsha kubahambi abaphapha ngeeholide, icebisa abakhweli ukuba banxibe imaski, baziqhelanise nococeko kwaye benze konke okusemandleni ukugcina umgama ekuhlaleni. Nangona kunjalo, amaZiko oLawulo lweNtsholongwane kunye noThintelo acebise ngokuchasene nokuhamba ngenqwelomoya, ibhasi okanye uloliwe ngexesha leeholide ngenxa yomceli mngeni wokuhlala iinyawo ezintandathu ngaphandle kwabanye.
Ukuhlala ukhuselekile ngelixa uhamba ngenqwelomoya kunokuba nzima ngenxa yokuxubana okungahambelaniyo kwemigaqo-nkqubo yezempilo kunye nokhuseleko kwindawo engaphezulu kwama-450 eenqwelo moya e-US kunye nezithuthi ezilishumi ezicwangcisiweyo zasekhaya. Ukusukela ukuba i-DOT ishiye inqwelo moya ukuba ithathe isigqibo sokuba zeziphi iindlela zokuzikhusela, abahambi abanasiqinisekiso sokuba inqwelo moya yabo iyakulandela imigaqo-nkqubo efanayo eyayikhona xa babeqala ukubhukisha.
Umzekelo, ngexa i-Delta ithembise ukushiya izihlalo eziphakathi zivulekile kwiinqwelomoya, uninzi lweenqwelo moya lwasekhaya zibhukisha abakhweli kuzo zonke izihlalo, kubandakanya noMzantsi-ntshona, osandula ukuguqula umgaqo-nkqubo wawo kwaye uzakuqala ukwabela izihlalo eziphakathi ukuqala ngoDisemba 1. Abahambi abaye babhabha ngexesha lobhubhane. bakhalaze kwiCR ukuba baziva bengakhuselekanga kwiinqwelomoya ezixineneyo kwaye ezinye iinqwelomoya azizinyanzelisi iimfuno zemaski ngokungaguqukiyo.
I-CR icele uNobhala u-Chao ukuba asebenze namanye amagosa olawulo aphambili ukumisela iimfuno zokukhusela abahamba ngeenqwelo moya kuhanjiso lwe-COVID-19, kubandakanya:
- Njani kwaye ujonge njani abakhweli kunye nabasebenzi kwi-COVID-19 ngaphambi kohambo
- Ukuhamba ngokufanelekileyo kwentlalo kwizikhululo zeenqwelo moya nakwiinqwelo moya
- Ukusetyenziswa kweemaski zobuso kunye nezinye izixhobo zokuzikhusela
- Iinkqubo ezifanelekileyo zokucoca isikhululo seenqwelomoya kunye neenqwelo moya
- Ukusebenza kweenkqubo zokujikeleza komoya kwendlwana
INTO ONOKUYITHATHA KWELI NQAKU:
- How and whether to screen passengers and employees for COVID-19 before travelAppropriate social distancing in airports and airplane cabinsUse of face masks and other personal protective equipmentAppropriate airport and airline cleaning proceduresEffectiveness of airplane cabin air circulation systems .
- Earlier this month, the Federal Aviation Administration issued new recommendations for travelers flying during the holidays, advising passengers to wear a mask, practice good sanitation and to do their best to maintain social distance.
- Since the DOT has left it up to the airlines to decide which safety precautions to adopt, travelers have no guarantee that their airline will follow the same policies that were in place when they first made their reservation.
