Passengers who were travelling on a flight from Zante to Cardiff have been ordered to self-isolate following seven confirmed cases of COVID-19.
Travellers who were on the TUI flight 6215 last Tuesday are now being considered as ‘close contacts’ of those who tested positive for the coronavirus.
The seven cases involved three different groups on board the flight.
Public Health Wales is contacting the 193 passengers and crew on board the flight.
Dr Giri Shankar, PHW director, said: “These passengers will be contacted shortly, but meanwhile, they must self-isolate at home as they may become infectious, even without developing symptoms. Anyone with symptoms should book a test without delay.
“Our investigations into a number of cases of coronavirus have indicated that a lack of social distancing, in particular by a minority of the 20-30 year age group, has resulted in the spread of the virus to other groups of people.”
