Lauren Ancel Meyers, an expert in disease outbreaks at the University of Texas, says that can help limit risk.For air travel, and all other types of transportation, the CDC recommends washing your hands, maintaining social distancing and wearing face coverings.Several airlines announced Monday that they will ask passengers about possible COVID-19 symptoms and whether they have been in contact with someone who tested positive for the virus in the previous two weeks.Still, Meyers said you still might consider whether you need to be on that plane.
