The cases were discovered among around 600 passengers who arrived at Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport on two flights on Friday before the Dutch government halted air traffic from southern Africa due to concerns over the variant.
A spokesperson for the health ministry said it would not be known until later Saturday whether any of passengers are infected with the new variant., said the airline was trying to determine what rules were in place as of Friday morning to prevent people with COVID-19 infections from boarding the flights, which departed from Cape Town and Johannesburg.
"It was really weird. There was no coordination. There were too few people and there really wasn’t anybody who took control." "I’ve been told that they expect that a lot more people will test positive after five days. It's a little scary the idea that you’ve been in a plane with a lot of people who tested positive."
It's already too late.
Let the chaos and finger pointing begin.
Welcome to the insanity of humanity at its most advanced peak of science, technology, and politics.
In U.K. there were no special measures put in place for the last flights before the ban 🙃

Dutch Authorities Isolate 61 Covid-19 Cases Among Travelers From South AfricaOne in 10 passengers aboard two flights that landed in the Netherlands from South Africa on Friday tested positive for Covid-19. Health authorities said they would research whether the results showed the Omicron variant. So 600 people show 600 negative PCR tests in South Africa before boarding their flights to Amsterdam on Friday. When they land, all 600 are tested. 60 come up Covid positive. How does that happen? My bet is that there were fraudulent results given. A lot! All countries must stop travellers from SouthAfrica region directly or through other airports to enter their country till impact/solution for this Omicron variant known. If not each day spread will add up to repeat the first Italian shock from China. Commercial flights must be the worst.
