The crew member tested negative before leaving on the trip, but tested positive once the plane had arrived in Shanghai. It is very likely given that this person is a cabin crew member that the infection could have been contracted in a different part of the world, she said. She said most of them had tested negative for Covid-19 a few days before the flight. The person tested negative on Wednesday, November 18 and tested positive four days later in Shanghai, where there has been an outbreak of Covid cases, including staff at the airport.
