But there was only one positive on that QR flight from Doha so how was it caught on the plane?
So what were they doing before boarding?
And they did go out in Chatswood including a Woolworths. Won't surprise me if we see more positives from Chatswood.
There are plenty of opportunities for earlier transmission. OR Tambo airport and any post test pre airport movement would be my prime suspect, given the 72 hour test window in SA. Inflight I suspect Doha rather less, and SYD. Those would make for a very short incubation I think.
Were they roaming around DOH maskless ?
Mighty unlikely. Agree from my own experience that QR mask enforcement isn’t 100% But you would get a very short distance in DOH without a mask.
NSW Health is keenly interested in people off these flights. My PCR test schedule is day 1, 3, 7, 12 and (post release) 15. I get asked about symptoms half a dozen times a day; interesting to hear the nurses doing their rounds mostly by phone. Any downstream positive cases among people off these flights should bob up pretty quickly.
The thing that also interests me is the possibility of earlier release than 14 days for the vaccinated that were on these flights. Three of the callers have hinted at that. Suspect policy change proposals may be working their way through the bureaucracy
I was in the three row mini cabin at the back of the SQ A350, which with hindsight was a mighty fine place to minimise my risk.
