Number of infected China Airlines pilots rises to nine
Taiwan-based China Airlines says a spate of Covid infections among its pilot ranks has increased to nine positive cases.
The airline says there is no identifiable transmission link between the infected cargo pilots as they come from four different fleets.
It is still trying to identify the source, said Minister of Health and Welfare Chen Shih-chung.
The airline’s quarantine facility in Taiwan is being checked to see if its disease prevention measures have been compromised.
CAL has launched an expanded testing program to screen all CAL pilots, although it doesn’t believe there is a wider outbreak among all pilot teams.
The latest two cases were CAL pilots who separately flew round trip to the US earlier this month.
One of them attended a recent event in Taipei before being diagnosed as Covid positive.
