“…Gong [31] proposed a comprehensive risk assessment model based on probability, severity, and vulnerability. Chen [32] proposed a quantitative assessment method for the control effect of COVID-19. Chen [33] defined epidemic risk as a combination of likelihood, severity, and sensitivity, and evaluated the risk of school opening.…”

One of the main methods for conducting regional healthcare risk analysis and decision-making is to determine healthcare risks through the analysis of environmental, social, and other data. The existing research mainly focuses on the control and management of epidemics and disasters. Compared to post-outbreak control, research on the assessment and prediction of infectious disease risks is equally important for epidemic prevention and control. This article proposed a risk analysis and assessment method based on entropy and risk weight number. Firstly, the probability and content of regional healthcare risks based on the classical risk probability is proposed. Then, starting from the influencing factors of healthcare risks, analyze the correlation between various regional factors and the risk of malignant infectious diseases, and construct a risk assessment model and method based on information entropy theory and risk weights to achieve the assessment and prediction of regional infectious disease risks. This study is an extension of the technology of intelligent data analysis in the field of healthcare and has positive significance for the research and application of intelligent technology and theory.

“…Airline protection measures for passengers from Covid-19 infection have not been satisfactory. Especially on long-haul flights, passengers' immune systems are weakened by fatigue, poor diet management, panic, and lack of sleep, which can increase their risk of infection [14]. For the crew, the increased workload and extended hours associated with performing additional disease prevention measures can add to their fatigue and increase their risk of infection, particularly in an isolated cabin and with more human contact than passengers.…”

Since the outbreak of Covid-19, the depth and persistence of the impact on the airline industry have far exceeded expectations, and the pressure on the operation of airline enterprises has continued to increase. This paper intends to understand the impact of Covid-19 on the sustainability of the aviation industry. To achieve this goal, this paper reviews the significant impact of Covid-19 on the global economic landscape and concepts related to supply chain sustainability, focusing on the negative and positive effects of the aviation industry's response to the outbreak on its sustainability. This paper observes that while some measures could locally enhance the sustainability of the airline industry at the environmental and social levels, it generally left sustainability more severely negatively impacted.

“…Little knowledge about communicable diseases was classified into first aid training [23] with very little attention from airlines before COVID-19. While numerous studies on IPC training issues have been conducted in the medical and public health fields [10,11,24,25], this is not the case with in-flight IPC training, particularly for cabin crew. Many researchers believe that effective strategies and in-flight IPC training should be utilized by airlines and conducted on a regular basis among cabin crew [2,[4][5][6][7]25,26].…”

Specific in-flight infection prevention and control (IPC) training was deemed an essential strategy for ensuring the implementation of appropriate measures to protect the health of passengers and crew sustainably during COVID-19 and the post-pandemic period. This study aims to identify cabin crew’s IPC duties and investigate the current status of the in-flight IPC training for cabin crew in China. The snowballing technique was employed with purposeful sampling. A total of 15 participants, including cabin crew of various positions, inspectors, and trainers from eight airlines in China were invited to attend the in-depth semi-structured interview between September and November of 2022. Cabin crew IPC duties can be classified into four phases based on a thematic analysis: before flight, passenger boarding, during flight, and after flight. The findings indicated airlines in China required their cabin crew to carry out strict IPC measures onboard throughout all stages of flight, including in-flight IPC training before flight, being aware of COVID symptoms and monitoring passengers’ conditions during boarding, the standard operating procedure (SOP) of handling suspicious carriers during flight, and so on. Meanwhile, six major themes concerning cabin crew’s in-flight IPC training were extracted: COVID-19 information, IPC Supplies and usage, IPC measures onboard, communication and explanation, information collection and report up, attitude and perceptions toward COVID-19, and IPC measures. Cabin crew were regularly trained on in-flight IPC through online learning, with face-to-face training used as reinforcement. Although training for knowledge and technical skills was deemed comprehensive, non-technical skills such as communication and explanation were viewed as a weak link. Moreover, airlines should make greater efforts to help cabin crew develop a positive attitude towards COVID-19 and overcome their internal fears. This study pointed out the shortcomings of the in-flight IPC training for cabin crew in China and can help the airlines improve the training program so that cabin crew can perform their duties correctly. Furthermore, the result can inform the development of future cabin crew training programs for the post-pandemic period.
