One of the five French passengers repatriated Sunday from the MV Hondius cruise ship showed symptoms during the flight to Paris. The group was placed in quarantine at Bichat hospital.
The plane carrying the five French passengers landed around 4:30 p.m. at Bourget airport. Ambulances took them to Bichat hospital where they will remain in quarantine for 72 hours for a full evaluation.
Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu announced a decree would be issued Sunday evening to enforce isolation of contacts. Health Minister Stéphanie Rist said PCR test results for the symptomatic passenger would be known within 24 hours.
Meanwhile, 94 people of 19 nationalities were evacuated Sunday from the Canaries. British passengers arrived in Manchester and Dutch ones in the Netherlands, each following their country’s health protocols.
