A British couple on holiday in Vietnam have been told they “left infections everywhere” over several days after unknowingly contracting coronavirus from a fellow passenger on their flight from Heathrow. They were contacted on Saturday and told that someone on their flight had tested positive for coronavirus. But on Monday morning they were forced to move to the Hanoi central hospital for tropical diseases, four hours away. “Before we left Lao Cai I had a call from the district foreign office official who said that everywhere we had been we had left people with infection. It was reported that she had suffered from a cough and fever before travelling but not at the time of the flight.
