Just a face mask wouldn’t do. Instead, Naomi Campbell guarded herself against the coronavirus in a hooded hazmat suit, gloves and more while catching a flight (not germs) at the Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) on March 10.
What We Know:
- The queen of clean has made a name for herself as the epitome of airline germ-killing, after sharing a video of herself heartily disinfecting her seat before flying recently.
- In one shot, Campbell poses in her protective gear at an airport terminal, while another shows her wearing the same outfit – with an additional cape draped across her shoulders – as she sits in a commercial plane.

- Campbell went viral in 2019 when she shared a YouTube video of her intense pre-flight routine, detailing how she cleans and disinfects her seat once boarding her plane.
“Clean anything you touch. This is what I do on every plane I get on. I do not care what people think of me. It’s my health and it makes me feel better.”
- “I will eventually end up sitting like this the whole entire flight,” she shares after taking a seat. “No matter what plane you take, private or commercial, as the plane descends people start coughing and sneezing. And the coughing and sneezing makes me … I just can’t.”
- “As much as I travel, I should get sick so much more with colds and stuff and I’m blessed that I don’t,” she added. “I really think this helps me – my little routine.”
- On Monday, a top official for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warned Americans that “many will become sick” from COVID-19 coronavirus.
- Nancy Messonnier, director of the CDC’s National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, said that COVID-19 is “highly contagious” and “there’s essentially no immunity against this virus in the population because it’s a new virus”.
You could say the only thing Naomi Campbell will be catching is a flight.
