It sounds like they handled it as best they could. And despite the article headline, the actual article says only “flu like symptoms”, so it’s not clear if it’s flu, or coronavirus, or something else. But it would be nice to know!!

So "coronavirus symptoms" is a pretty meaningless term unless you're using it as click-bait.

Here are the primary symptoms for Cold, Flu and Covid-19, according to the CDC. Can you figure out which set belongs to which virus? So while the headline is technically not wrong, it is certainly insufficiently correct.

1) People may experience:
runny nose
sore throat
cough
fever

2) Symptoms include
fever
chills
muscle aches
cough
congestion
runny nose
headache
fatigue

3) Symptoms:
Runny or stuffy nose
Sore throat
Sneezing
Cough
Congestion
Low-grade fever
Malaise
Slight body aches

I saw this. They were tested, got on the plane before finding out the results, and found out mid flight they tested positive.

Yeah it was big news here in Tampa Bay. Recklessly stupid on that persons part to fly when they weren’t feeling well especially if they were going to test for it.
