SIA cabin crew to wear N95 masks, protective overalls on flights from London amid concerns over new Covid-19 strain

SINGAPORE - All Singapore Airlines (SIA) cabin crew members working on flights from London will now have to wear N95 masks and protective overalls amid growing concerns about the new strain of the Covid-19 virus in the city.

They will also have to take Covid-19 swab tests after their return. They will not be allowed to resume work on other flights until they get a negative result, in line with the usual practice when flying to areas with higher risks of Covid-19 infections.

SIA is currently operating two direct flights daily from London's Heathrow Airport on most days. The flights are about 13 hours long.

The additional requirements for protective equipment for flights from London kicked in on Wednesday (Dec 23), SIA said in response to queries on Thursday. Prior to this, cabin crew had already been wearing goggles, gloves and surgical masks for all flights.

Reports about a new strain of the coronavirus that is 70 per cent more infectious surfaced last week.

The unwell person would be attended to by a cabin crew dressed in full personal protective gear, and would be checked by medical authorities upon the plane's landing.

Even India has banned flights from the UK. Lee Hsien Loong is such an insufferable prick.

I think the SIA employees should quit and go into F&B.

These people have foresight:

No bullshit. Citizens are bailing out SIA. They better be grateful they still have a job.
