A woman was on a regional flight with a confirmed case a month before being contacted by contact tracers. She took a regional flight on 17 March and 10 days later developed symptoms of the respiratory virus. "I tried again a second time and told them I'd been on a regional flight with international people and was refused." "And they hadn't even bothered to ring up the regional flight members who he'd been in contact with the same day. Four and a half weeks after the regional flight where she came into contact with a man with Covid-19, the Ministry of Health's contact tracing team called her up.
