All crew members and passengers of a flight from London to HCM City have been quarantined because of a young woman with Covid-19 symptoms.
The woman who is a Vietnamese student in the UK took Vietnam Airlines’ VN50 which arrived in HCM City’s Tan Son Nhat International Airport at around 5 am yesterday morning.
The information about her suspected Covid-19 symptoms such as cough and fever was reported to Tan Son Nhat International Airport’s Disease Control Centre by her parents after she was already in the air for two hours.
According to her parents, she had come to a hospital in the UK for examination, but was diagnosed with seasonal flu. She did not have a Covid-19 test.
She then developed symptoms such as cough and fever and still decided to return to Vietnam.
After hearing the report, the flight captain decided to move the woman to the last seat row of the plane to be quarantined from the other passengers.
As soon as the flight landed at Tan Son Nhat International Airport, the woman was taken to HCM City Hospital for Tropical Diseases. Meanwhile, the crew and passengers were sent to a quarantine area in Cu Chi.
A separate area was also arranged for the flight to land to ensure safety. The aeroplane was sterilised.
