16 guests of the vacation plane have already tested positive, the BBC reported on Monday. According to British health experts, seven of them were most likely already contagious on board.
On the flight from the island of Zakynthos to Cardiff (Wales) on August 25, a number of passengers are said to have ignored the corona protective measures. Many would not have worn masks as prescribed; the crew hardly intervened, it was said.
TUI machine full of "selfish Cov-idiots"
"The flight was a debacle," a woman told the BBC. Many passengers walked around on the plane without masks to talk to acquaintances. The machine was full of "selfish Cov-idiots", she said, alluding to the disease Covid-19. The allegations will be followed up closely, the broadcaster quoted a spokesman for the travel company Tui. Many young British people in Greece have a reputation for being partying and drinking a lot of alcohol.
