Yet managed to pass all the pre-flight tests?

So is he sick?, or just positive.? How many in Thailand are hospitalized just for this virus. It would be nice to know the true numbers that require the destruction of tourism and the economy?.

Of course. Median incubation is 5 to 6 days, and it may take up to 14 days. And remember one could get infected on the flight. This is why quarantine is an absolute must. Testing before departure and after arrival is useful but only in the context of a stringent quarantine. Isn't @spidermike007.
