This document provides interim guidance for domestic and international flights originating from areas affected by novel H1N1 flu and will be updated as needed.
Background
A novel H1N1 flu virus has infected humans in the United States and Mexico. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has determined that this novel H1N1 flu virus is contagious and is spreading from human to human. However, at this time, it is not known how easily the virus spreads between people. Some infected individuals are known to have traveled on international and domestic flights while infectious.
Flight and cabin crew sometimes encounter ill passengers while performing their duties. When an ill passenger is identified, flight and cabin crew are required to report passengers who meet certain illness criteria to CDC Quarantine Stations.
