Face Mask
They can put a face surgical mask in her purse when traveling abroad?
Traveling to Italy in October. I worry about the flu outbreak departure and return. Is taking the mask will be a problem in my hand luggage? Thank you.
Yes, you can carry or wear a surgical mask. Now this probably protect others if you are infected, and that drops to minimize if coughing. Not protect you if the disease is in the air. This is why we often see in the Asian part of the world. They do not care about any potential disease spread. Six months ago, was on a plane between Stockholm-Helsinki. I sat in the business but he looked down the economy. It was filled with Japanese tourists, all wearing masks. It seemed funny, but I realize that (as I understand) do so as a gesture of courtesy, when a disease is around.
