Roberta,

The issue on the plane is not the air supply, which is HEPA filtered, but direct contact with a carrier of the virus. There's a balanced article at https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/transport/coronavirus-air-inside-planes-is-clean-but-cause-for-concern-if-sick-person

As far as I can tell, the flight will be the safest part of the week.

Regards
   Brian

So based on that the Italian virologist  invites companies to allow people to work from home to avoid spreading the virus.

In case of an international meeting we need to add to that the fact of spending many hours on the plane, as somebody else already pointed out in this thread.
