Not a week has passed since the regular domestic flights were enabled in Argentina - they started on Thursday, October 22 and it was something that was eagerly awaited by the airline industry in the midst of the crisis due to the coronavirus pandemic - and there have already been
two cases of passengers
who showed up to fly having a positive Covid-19 certificate or knowing they were carrying the disease.
The first was that of a passenger who traveled to Ushuaia last week.
The second case was known today and was that of a young man who traveled to Misiones: upon arrival at his destination he was tested (since this province requires a negative certificate to enter) and it tested positive.
This is why Aerolineas Argentinas announced this Tuesday, October 27, that it will
criminally denounce
travelers who try to
evade health controls
, falsify documentation or who directly show up to fly being positive for COVID - 19.
“Less than a week ago we resumed the regular operation of Aerolineas and, although it seems difficult to believe, we have had
two cases of passengers
who showed up to
fly with a COVID-19 POSITIVE certificate
.
Faced with this situation, we want to report the following: Any passenger who shows up to fly with a positive COVID-19 certificate or with adulterated documentation to evade controls, will be criminally denounced and will not be able to board any of the Airlines flights for 5 years ", said the president of the company, Pablo Ceriani, through the social network Twitter.
