Fourteen passengers on a recent Scoot flight from Singapore tested positive for Covid-19 after arriving in China.
They were on Scoot flight TR138, which carried 223 passengers bound for Tianjin on Wednesday last week.
Official state media outlet Tianjin Daily reported that six of the 14 passengers were classified as imported cases and the other eight as asymptomatic cases. None had a fever on arrival.
After they tested positive, they were taken to local hospitals, the report added.
Singapore’s Health Ministry (MOH) said yesterday that 12 of the 14 cases are recovered workers who lived in migrant worker dormitories, and are deemed not infectious.
Replying to The New Paper’s queries, an MOH spokesman said in a statement that the workers may continue to shed viral fragments for weeks or even months after infection, which may lead to positive polymerase chain reaction test results.
