Air travel during COVID-19 a familiar, yet unsettling experience
“What? Why? But flying is dangerous. Are you not afraid?"
Such was the response from my family members when they heard about my upcoming flight -
the first since COVID-19 hit in Indonesia in March.
Travelling by air is part and parcel of my job as a journalist in this huge archipelagic country.
But when COVID-19 broke out and my hometown Jakarta implemented a partial lockdown
to curb the spread of the disease, I had to stop travelling.
In early June, the restrictions were lifted gradually and people started going out again. I,
on the other hand, continued to work from home as I was still concerned about the growing
number of infections in the capital.
However, when the chance arrived at the end of July to fly to Riau province, just under
two hours away from Jakarta, I took the chance.
My family was shocked when I informed them about the plan. Their response was
understandable, considering the fact that I am the one who constantly uses up our hand
soap at home thanks to my excessive hand-washing routine.
Even though I have dined in a restaurant once and went to the mall once after the COVID-19
curbs in Jakarta were eased, was I really ready to be up in the air with strangers for almost
two hours?
The idea was a bit frightening, to be honest, but I analysed the risk - Riau, unlike Jakarta,
is not a COVID-19 hotbed.
Also, if I made proper preparations, it should not be that scary.
