Covid-19 Brings Changes To HEMS Aircraft, Crews
Covid-19 forces helicopter operators and regulators to make significant changes to air ambulance transports.

The Covid-19 crisis has forced both helicopter operators and aviation regulators to make significant changes with regard to air ambulance transports. The majority of these involve relaxing the regulatory framework for aircraft modifications used to abate transmission of the virus between passengers/patients and crew as well as changing operational procedures with regard to the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) and aircraft decontamination.
