Crew of THAI flight from London in quarantine as passenger has Covid-19

Thai Airways (THAI) has isolated the crew of flight TG 917 flying from London to Bangkok after one Thai passenger was reportedly infected with Covid-19.

 

The flight left Heathrow Airport in London on March 16 at 9.30pm local time and arrived in Bangkok on March 17 at 4pm.

 

Thai Airways has informed the Ministry of Public Health so that the passengers on that flight could be tracked down.

 

Meanwhile, the flight attendants on that flight were ordered to be in quarantine and sent for a Covid-19 test.

 

All flights to London have been cancelled from April 1 to May 31 as part of measures to cut costs in the Covid-19 situation.

All flights should be cancelled everywhere, it will just continue to get worse. People are stuck everywhere around the world.

Governments need to stop all flights, give every foreigner a visa waiver until this is somewhat over the worse. It cant continue.

People might want to go home, but its just making it worse.

People who a stuck should be offered food and lodgings for the time being.

This is insanity.

Stop the flights.

And since members of that crew have probably been flying on many flights to various destinations in the last eight days, with many other cabin crew, not to mention passengers, the potential spread is exponential. Woy.

But you need an all clear certificate to say you ain't got it before they let you on so I assume this was a while ago, ah yes before,
