A spokesperson for the health authority for Kennemerland, in which Schiphol airport is situated, said authorities won’t disclose whether any of the 14 passengers found to be infected with the Omicron variant of the virus are being released, citing their right to privacy. The Dutch Public Health Service, or GGD, tested more than 600 passengers who arrived on two flights that had departed from Johannesburg and Cape Town on Friday, before the Dutch government changed its rules on air traffic from Southern Africa because of concerns about the Omicron variant.

Results of follow-up tests on Monday mean that more than half of those who had been held at the hotel are now free to continue their travels, a GGD statement said.
