The study details an outbreak linked to one passenger on an 18-hour flight from Dubai to New Zealand in September.

Health officials in New Zealand, a country that has a strict 14-day quarantine in place for arriving travelers, released a case study on Friday that details the risks of traveling on long-haul flights during the coronavirus pandemic — even if negative coronavirus tests are required before the flight.

New Zealand’s quarantine protocols make the study a unique analysis because all passengers were monitored and retested during their required 14-day quarantine lodging, which is managed by New Zealand authorities. Most flights, doctors have pointed out, have no way of monitoring passengers two weeks after their travel.

Of the seven infected individuals, five had tested negative within 48 hours before the flight. The authors of the article say the “transmission events occurred despite reported use of masks and gloves in-flight,” and that stringent masking was required by the airline operating the flight. “These seven cases were found to have been seated within four rows of each other during the approximately 18-hour flight,” the study states. “Recent studies have presented conflicting findings of the risks associated with in-flight transmission. We therefore undertook a comprehensive investigation to determine the potential source of infection.”

To get an accurate test result depends on the quality of the test, eg PCR is better than Ag-tests. Maybe more importantly the quality of the probe, proper swab sampling is absolutely crucial PublicHealth CoronaPCR

Many travelers are making falsified certificates to travel so this is what happens
