Passengers on a packed American Airlines flight to New York didn't wear masks, and flight attendants are calling for them to be required

Airlines around the world are flying mostly empty planes as they maintain connectivity while travel demand plummets due to the coronavirus outbreak.

Instead, people wore a wide range of outfits and protective gear, from standard clothing with uncovered faces to hazmat coveralls. Surgical masks and face coverings do not necessarily protect the wearer, but have been shown to protect others nearby if the wearer is an asymptomatic carrier of the virus.
