Boeing has shown that sitting next to someone in an airplane is the equivalent of being seven to eight feet away from someone on the ground,&#8221; the Qantas representative told the Australian media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Australia has accumulated more than 27,820 cases of covid-19 since the beginning of the pandemic, including 907 deaths, of which some 20,349 infections and 819 deaths correspond to the State of Victoria, whose resurgence due to alleged security breaches in quarantine centers triggered a second wave of the new coronavirus in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Currently, the state of South Australia is fighting an outbreak of covid-19, detected more than a week ago and which forced the confinement of its 1.7 million inhabitants for three days to contain its spread and after it was detected that a worker of Spanish nationality and with a temporary visa lied about his contacts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Photo: Trevor Long\/<a
