Amamaski obuso ayingxenye ebalulekile yesu elinezingqimba lokugcina amakhasimende ephephile futhi kuncishiswe ukudluliswa kwawo Covid-19 phakathi nokuhamba ngendiza, ngokombiko omusha wezobuchwepheshe oshicilelwe kuleli sonto ubuhlakani e-Harvard's TH Chan School of Public Health.

Iziphetho zalolu cwaningo zibhekise ocwaningweni lwakamuva oluphakamisa ukuthi ukusetshenziswa kwendawo yonke kwemaski ezilungiselelweni ezifana nalezo ezisendizeni kunganciphisa ubungozi bokutheleleka obusuka ezinhlayiyeni zokuphefumula bube ngaphansi kwephesenti elingu-1.

"Ukusetshenziswa kwezifihla-buso kubaluleke kakhulu kulo lonke uhlelo lokuhamba ngendiza, kusukela ekungeneni esikhumulweni sezindiza ukuze usuke uye ekuphumeni esikhumulweni sezindiza lapho uya khona," ngokusho kombiko weHarvard. "Lapho ukusetshenziswa kwemaski kuqaliswa nezinye izindlela ezakhelwe ekusebenzeni kwendiza, njengokukhuphuka kokungena komoya ngokuhlunga kwe-HEPA endizeni kanye nokubulala amagciwane endaweni, lokhu [kungenelela] okunezingqimba kunikeza isivikelo esibalulekile ekutholeni i-COVID-19 ngokuhamba ngendiza."

Umbiko kaHarvard - ingxenye yesethi yezincomo ezisekelwe ebufakazini zokunciphisa ubungozi bezempilo bomphakathi bokundiza ngesikhathi Covid-19 ubhubhane - futhi icaphuna omunye umbiko ochaza abagibeli ababili abane-COVID-19 abahamba ngendiza yamahora ayi-15 nabanye abagibeli abangama-350; bobabili babegqoke imaski, futhi akekho omunye umuntu endizeni owayenegciwane.

E-US, Delta Air Lines bekungenye yezinkampani zezindiza zokuqala ezidinga amakhasimende nabasebenzi ukuthi bagqoke imaskhi noma bavale ubuso kuzo zonke izindawo zokuthinta ze-Delta ezikhumulweni zezindiza kanye nasendizeni. Kuyisandiso sokuzibophezela kwethu kokuphepha, futhi ukuphoqelela umthetho kuwumthwalo esiwuthatha ngokungathi sína. I-Delta icela amakhasimende ukuthi avume njengengxenye yenqubo yokungena ukuzimisela kwawo ukugqoka imaskhi kulo lonke uhambo. Futhi inkampani yezindiza igcizelela ukuthi amakhasimende anesimo esingaphansi esiwavimbela ukuthi agqoke imaski agcwalise inqubo “Yokusula-Ukundiza” lapho efika esikhumulweni sezindiza.

“Akungatshazwa ukuthi ukugqoka imaskhi yobuso kungenye yezindlela ezibaluleke kakhulu zokuthi uhlale uphephile esikhumulweni sezindiza futhi ugibele, yingakho sisheshe ukukufaka endleleni yethu yokuvikela amakhasimende ethu nabasebenzi,” kusho iNduna yakwaDelta. Isikhulu Esinolwazi Lwekhasimende uBill Lentsch. "Siyabonga ngokwenza ingxenye yakho ukuze uhlale uphephile futhi uvikele labo abaseduze nawe."

LOKHO ONGAKUTHATHE KULESI SIHLOKO:

“There's no doubt that wearing a face mask is one of the most important ways to stay safe in the airport and on board, and it's why we were so quick to incorporate it into our approach to protecting our customers and employees,” said Delta's Chief Customer Experience Officer Bill Lentsch.
In US, Delta Air Lines was one of the first airlines to require customers and employees to wear a mask or face covering across Delta touchpoints at airports and onboard the aircraft.
Face masks are an essential part of a layered strategy to keep customers safe and reduce transmission of COVID-19 throughout air travel, according to a new technical bulletin published this week by faculty at Harvard's T.
