Attack proportions among contacts were estimated to range from 10% to 18% despite low flight occupancy (17%) and well-spaced passenger seating on-board. The authors note that some individuals may have contracted the virus during the flight, while others were incubating or infected after the flight, and they recommend rapid contact tracing when a positive SARS-CoV-2 infection is linked to a flight.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i>Murphy et al.
