Abstract
COVID‑19 is a new emerging coronavirus outbreak
causing a big pandemic at present. This disease firstly
occurred in China,[1] then, the disease migrated worldwide
due to International transportation.[2] COVID‑19 is already
imported to new countries by air travel, sea travel, and
land travel. Considering air travel, it is the main route that
the disease can emerge in a new setting. Focusing on this
fact, the airport becomes the place that the disease is first
imported into a new country. The airport personnel might
have a chance to get COVID‑19. This is an important issue
in occupational health.[3] It is well recognized for the risk
of airport personnel. However, interesting data that is little
mentioned is the exact place in the international airport that
has a high risk of infection transmission.
