Korean Air announced it is providing protective gowns and goggles to all its cabin crew starting April 21 to help protect all people on board from the coronavirus.

In a statement, the airline said its cabin crews on all flights are wearing goggles in addition to masks and gloves, while protective gowns are being provided on medium- and long-haul inbound flights as overseas COVID-19 cases continue to increase significantly.

 All protective gowns, masks and gloves are discarded after the flight and personal goggles are sanitized before reuse.  

Korean Air will continue to focus on the safety of its employees and customers during the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond, it added.
