Covid-19 cases confirmed on Greek island flight
All passengers who were on a flight to Wales from a Greek island have been told to self-isolate after some on board tested positive for coronavirus.
Health officials say seven people from three different parties on Tui flight 6215 from Zante to Cardiff on Tuesday have tested positive for Covid-19.
Public Health Wales (PHW) is now contacting the rest of the passengers.
It comes as a group
of people from Plymouth tested positive for the virus after returning from Zante on Monday.
"Cardiff and Vale test, trace, protect and Public Health Wales have identified at least seven confirmed cases of Covid-19 from three different parties who were infectious on Tui flight 6215 from Zante to Cardiff on 25 August," said
Giri Shankar of PHW.
"As a result, we are advising that all passengers on this flight are considered close contacts and must self-isolate."
This was 6 days ago so they will have been spreading it during that time.
@Tillicum the link above about social distancing also has a useful example regarding quarantining.
Examples show 10 days from getting sick or 14 days if exposure but no symptoms.
From the Plymouth link above -
"Up to 30 young people in Plymouth could be infected with coronavirus having returned from holiday in Greece, local health officials say.
The city's public health team said the group, aged 18 and 19, returned from the island of Zante last week and so far 11 have tested positive.
Many of them had no, or "very minor", symptoms of the virus, they added."
It goes on to say the group went out to several bars in Plymouth when they got back before they knew. Oh oh.
