Increasing international travel and migration can interfere with public health in both the country of destination and back home. The revised International Health Regulations (IHR) and travel disease sentinel networks are means to protect public and individual health. Public health risks related to infectious disease are higher in mass gatherings, in travellers visiting friends and relatives and in sexual encounters away from home. In contrast, in-flight transmission of infections plays only a limited role.
国际旅行和移民的增加可能会干扰目的地国家和原籍国的公共卫生。经修订的《国际卫生条例(IHR)》和旅行疾病监测网络是保护公众和个人健康的手段。在人群聚集、旅行者探亲访友和离家在外的性接触中,与传染病相关的公共卫生风险更高。相比之下,飞行中感染的传播作用有限。
