Detailed Answer:
Hi,

As of now based on the available data neither Zambia or Ethopia have any recorded cases of COVID - 19 infections. So that is good news to you.

However as you are flying there may be passengers from other countries. So keep a sanitizer in handy. Keep away from sick patients - passengers, crew or other staff. A mask might help. However the best is to wash / sanitize hand frequently especially after touching strangers. Drink plenty of fluids. Lastly if you develop symptoms of fever, cough, cold and or breathing discomfort report to the authorities immediately.

I wish you a safe journey. Good luck!!
