Longstanding guidance by public health agencies is that the primary transmission risk associated with air travel for most respiratory infectious diseases is associated with sitting within 2 rows of an infectious passenger. In this paper we document reports of in-flight transmission of respiratory infectious diseases by large droplets for which seat plans are given. k Authors reported data on 7 flights on which 9 passengers who were seated within AE2 rows of an infectious passenger became infected.	./cache/cord-271343-0rrhiw9m.txt	./txt/cord-271343-0rrhiw9m.txt
