Astronauts land back on Earth

3 ISS astronauts return to Earth

Two NASA astronauts and a Russian cosmonaut on Friday made a safe return from the International Space Station (ISS) to find the planet transformed by the coronavirus pandemic. NASA Two astronauts and a Russian astronaut returned safely from the International Space Station on the 17th, but found that the earth had been changed by the COVID-19 epidemic.

Andrew Morgan, Jessica Meir and Oleg Skripochka touched down in central Kazakhstan at 0516 GMT in the first returning mission since the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic in March. Andrew Morgan, Jessica Meir and Oleg Skripochka landed in central Kazakhstan at 5:16 GMT. This is the first time that the World Health Organization has returned to the mission since the World Health Organization announced the global pandemic in March.

Unusually, NASA and Roscosmos did not show live footage of the trio parachuting down in their Soyuz landing capsule.

This was scrapped "due to technical limitations associated with the epidemiological situation," Roscosmos said. The footage from the landing site showed recovering crews wearing masks and rubber gloves as they hauled the crew members out of the Soyuz MS-15 capsule.

"Please keep your distance," one ground crew member could be heard telling another. The crew will not be flying back home via Kazakhstan's Karaganda airport as usual because it has been shut down, like so many other airports across the world.

Instead, Skripochka will fly from the Baikonur cosmodrome used to launch missions to the ISS while the NASA duo will take off in a plane from the steppe city of Kyzlorda after a drive of several hours. And two NASA astronauts will take a plane from the prairie city of Kizilorda after driving for a few hours.

Drinking alcohol can compromise people' immune systems and make them more vulnerable to the adverse health effects of COVID-19, according to WHO.

Alcohol use is also associated with diseases and mental health disorders that can make a person more likely to contract COVID-19.

Excessive drinking can also cause alcohol poisoning and increase the risk of violence among intimate partners.
