Is it breaking news when it's becoming common news?
Sooooo, some guys got into a fist fight because one of them refused to wear a mask on a plane. He had a face shield, but that's not sufficient protection according to the airline's company policy.
Anyone want to guess how many germs got spewed about with the yelling and touching? Two of the guys in the rumble wore their masks low and not covering their noses.
smh
The fight started when a passenger who wore a face shield got into an argument with a flight attendant over wearing a face mask, KSL reported.
A spokesperson for Allegiant Airlines did not respond to questions regarding the incident, but told NBC News on Monday that the airline requires all passengers to wear face covering at all times, including at the ticket counter, gate area and for the duration of the flight.
“Face shields may be worn in addition to a face covering, but not as an alternative,” according to company policy.
The video shows another man, clad in a mask that doesn't cover his nose, throwing jabs at the passenger who refused to wear a mask while being held back by flight staff.
The fight was broken up after 30 seconds. The passenger without a face mask was escorted off the plane by flight attendants, while the other man was allowed to stay.
In early March, when masks were not required by airports, a single passenger was responsible for infecting 15 other people aboard a flight from London to Hanoi, Vietnam, according to a study in the Emerging Infectious Diseases journal, which is published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
In its travel guidance, the CDC recommends wearing a mask that covers your nose and mouth and maintaining at least six feet apart from others.
