For what it's worth, I have a client that is a stewardess. She told me that they airlines are sanitizing the planes like never before, scrubbing every nook and cranny of every plane. So, at least there's that. As far as distancing, I don't know. A closed space with lots of people is likely a risk. I'm not sure I'd want to do that, especially since the air is being recirculated. If I had a really good mask with a 95% filter in it, maybe I'd do it, making sure to leave it on the entire time. And stay out of the bathroom.
My take.

I have been practicing a Covid-19 protocol with gloves, mask, hand cleaning, wiping down surfaces, carrying in a minimum of tools , social distancing and asking about household symptoms. I just got a referral from a customer who said her neighbor is flying home on June 24th and would like his grand piano tuned on the 25th along with hers. I am only doing one call a day to limit exposure to myself and clients. My thoughts are to talk to the new referral and schedule something two weeks or more down the road so there is a two week post travel isolation period. Currently there is a statewide increase in cases as more and more testing has been implemented. Because we are a tourist state and there are people from all over coming here that could explain some of the increase and spread since June 1. People are beginning to let their guard down and many seem to be shopping without masks or even following distancing recommendations.
Since air travel is done in planes that have poor air purification/circulation and people touch surfaces constantly, walk through crowded terminals, use public restrooms etc it seems reasonable customers should be good with at least a two week self isolation. Any thoughts/experience/recommendations ?
