She shielded herself from the chilly British weather in on oversized cream trench bomber jacket.
"How have I just done a 10 and half hour flight with not one minute of sleep," the singer and TV personality wrote on an Instagram story.
But the reality TV star took no chances and wore the mask in her business class seat throughout the entire flight back from LA.
Panic about the virus has spread across the world and clearly reached Megan, who admitted to not being able to sleep at all on the flight.
Megan shot to fame appearing on reality TV shows, Ex on the Beach, Celebrity Big Brother and The Only Way is Essex.
But it was her success on 2019's X Factor: Celebrity that catapulted her to greater fame and a record deal with Simon Cowell's record label.
The Essex girl has been busy recording her album with Syco and told fans she had been sharing the new tracks with her record label boss.
ABOUT CORONAVIRUS:
The Covid-19 virus originated in the Wuhan province of China and has since spread across the world with the numbers of dead reaching into the hundreds.
People who have travelled to certain countries in Asia and northern Italy since February 19 are being asked to self-quarantine for up to 14 days to prevent the spread of the virus.
In the UK, the number of people infected has risen to 40 with Prime Minster Borish Johsnon warning that number would likely increase in the coming weeks.
The government has signed off on a four-nation plan which it will release on Tuesday.
In the meantime the PM has said the best way for people to protect themselves is to wash their hands regularly and thoroughly, but they should go about their business as usual for now.
Megan has just returned from a productive week state side where she played Simon some newly recorded music from her upcoming album.
She wrote on Instagram: "Meeting and listening session with the big boss @simoncowell 🎼 Can’t explain how excited I am for everyone to hear what we’ve been working on. #albummode"
