“High-risk countries” are defined by the CAAC as those where the infection rate is higher than 500 people per million.

This means flight attendants on flights between China and the United States, Sweden, Lithuania, Hungary, Serbia, Slovenia, Croatia or Georgia could be wearing diapers onboard.

The CAAC does not go into detail in advising where crew members should go about their business, although it is expected it would be done while squatting in the galley.

The document says flight attendants should also wear a face mask, a double layer of medical-grade disposable gloves, goggles, disposable hair covers, a disposable full-body hazmat suit and shoe covers.

China’s aviation industry was hit hard at the onset of the coronavirus outbreak in Wuhan, however, the domestic market has since recovered close to pre-pandemic levels, while other regions such as Europe and the US struggle to bring Covid-19 under control.
