A passenger on a plane arriving with a Chilean “British strain” remains isolated

One of the passengers on the flight that brought the Chilean woman infected with the new strain of covid-19 to the country was isolated, as a precaution, at her home in the Biobío Region.

According to the regional Public Health authority, the person would still be waiting for the result of his PCR test, so it is not feasible to confirm yet a massification of the new variant of coronavirus, which, according to the United Kingdom, would be more contagious than normal.

I would be without symptoms

However, the head of Public Health of the region, Cecilia Soto, stated that the person would be without symptoms associated with covid-19 and that he is a foreigner who usually visits the area, and that after completing his preventive quarantine “he could return to their country of origin “.

It should be remembered that the first woman to carry the British strain of the virus in our country came to Panguipulli after a trip to the Middle East and Europe, moving to the Ninth Region. In the region, there would be 13 people who shared the trip from Madrid to Santiago with her.
