TThe number of passenger Covid-19 infections on Tui Flight 6215 has risen from seven to 16, Public Health Wales (PHW) announced.
Dr. Giri Shankar, PHW’s Covid-19 Incident Director, said officials initially identified seven people who tested positive after traveling on the plane from Zante to Cardiff.
But the number of confirmed cases has risen to 16, all believed to have been infected in Zante.
Dr. Shankar said passengers and crew on the three-and-a-half-hour flight with symptoms “should book a test without delay.”
Cardiff Airport said it was working closely with airlines to “facilitate passenger travel during this challenging time for the industry.”
Spencer Birns, Cardiff Airport Acting Chief Executive Officer, said: “Tui is taking all necessary action after today’s report.
“Cardiff Airport is closely following the guidelines set by Public Health Wales, FCO and the UK government and has already taken a number of steps to ensure the safety of our team and customers, which is our number one priority.”
