The Washington Post reports on a shocking incident that took place last July in the United States.
A flight of the American company "Spirit" took off from Dallas Texas and made an emergency landing in Albuquerque, New Mexico after one of the passengers died unexpectedly during the flight.
The investigation of the case lasted for many weeks and now its details are being published.
The passenger who died during the flight became ill with the corona virus.
It is not clear how she managed to board the flight and why she was not checked before, but now new and very worrying details are emerging regarding the conduct of the US authorities regarding the flight.
The company said they had reported this to the authorities, but there they did not bother to inform all the passengers who were on the flight that the same passenger died as a result of the corona virus.
The first passenger to be on the plane and find out about it was only last month after the case was published in the Washington Post.
Now the airline is not disclosing how many passengers were on the plane, U.S. authorities say it is too late to act to update everyone who was on the flight, as it has been almost four months since the incident and health authorities in New Mexico have reportedly failed to investigate the case.
It is important to note that last month a comprehensive study was conducted that lasted about six months during which they found that the chance of contracting corona during a flight is 0.003%.
The chances of being infected in Corona during a flight are much lower than being infected in a restaurant, supermarket or any other enclosed space, mainly due to the advanced air filtration systems on the planes.
