Flying with an infectious disease in 2025

February 07, 2025

On a recent flight from Charleston, South Carolina, to Newark, Sukrut Dwivedi noticed a passenger a few rows ahead of him coughing violently and uncontrollably.

“The man appeared feverish and kept reaching for tissues,” said Dwivedi, a physician who works for ID Care, an infectious disease care provider. “I could see the passengers around him were very uncomfortable.”
