A few days ago, a strange cluster of infections was discovered at Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris, France. The airport was testing the nucleic acid of a group of Chinese passengers who were preparing to transfer back to their home country in Paris with a destination in Shanghai, and they were found to be collectively positive. However, these passengers had departed from Peru, Mauritius and Colombia and were not related to each other.
49 Chinese Passengers Strangely “Turn Positive” at Paris Airport
A “mysterious cluster of infections” was reported at Paris-Charles de Gaulle airport on Monday (18): 49 Chinese passengers from different departure points arrived at Paris-Charles de Gaulle airport on Sunday (17), ready to fly from Paris to Shanghai, China. They were tested for nucleic acid at Paris-Charles de Gaulle airport and all tested positive. It is worth mentioning that the 49 passengers, some from Peru, some from Mauritius and some from Colombia, were not related to each other.
The cluster of infections came so suddenly and strangely that even Charles de Gaulle Airport could not sit still.
The airport said that although the airport’s testing is absolutely serious and reliable, it does not rule out the possibility of “false positive” test results …… Therefore, the airport has conducted a second round of virus testing on the 49 positive passengers. To be on the safe side, the passengers were quarantined in place while awaiting the results of the retest. However, the passengers who arrived in France on the same flight as the 49 people have gone their separate ways ……
According to the latest information received so far, the 49 passengers have been retested for a second time at Paris airport, 32 of them were negative, while the remaining 17 are still at the airport, waiting for the results of the nucleic acid report.
At present, Charles de Gaulle airport has not yet explained the first test results “false positive”.
Four hours before takeoff, the health codes of 190 passengers on a Russian flight to China suddenly turned yellow
In November last year, a flight from Russia to China with about 190 passengers suddenly turned yellow four hours before takeoff.
According to mainland media reports, a flight EO429 from Moscow to Zhengzhou, China, was canceled four hours before takeoff because more than 190 passengers’ health codes suddenly turned yellow and could not board the plane, according to local time in Moscow on November 25, 2020.
At that time, the airport found that the serum antibody test results of more than 190 passengers had surprisingly identical values and doubted the authenticity of the test results, the report said. The flight was also cancelled as a result.
After the incident, several Chinese passengers on the flight spoke to the media about their ordeal.
Wang, one of the passengers, said that since passengers must board the flight within 24 hours of receiving their health code, otherwise it is invalid. Therefore, all passengers on the flight went to the designated agency to complete the testing steps in unison on the 23rd.
Everyone received the results one after another on the evening of November 24 and the morning of the 25th, and then uploaded them as required by the embassy and received the green health code needed to board the flight.
However, by noon on the 25th, about four hours before the flight, everyone’s health codes suddenly all turned yellow. At this time, some passengers had already completed the departure procedures and entered the terminal.
Wang recalled that everyone was baffled and called the embassy and the airline to ask what was going on, but there was no definite response after a long time.
By 1:30 a.m. on the 26th, a newly appointed sampling truck from the testing agency arrived at the airport and resampled the passengers on the flight until 8 a.m. that morning, when all of them were tested. The more than 190 passengers were stranded at the Moscow airport for about 20 hours, and it took a few tries before they were finally able to board the plane back home.
As for why the test report results will be exactly the same? Wang said she understands that the data of many institutions’ test results are accurate to two decimal places. “The report is only accurate to (one) decimal point, it may look the same, rounded to 0.1, 0.2. so I think the problem may be here.” Wang said.
