Sick passenger at BWI didn’t meet coronavirus testing criteria

A passenger on a Southwest flight who recently traveled to China and had flu-like symptoms was taken off the flight at BWI Marshall Airport on Saturday. They were evaluated by state medical officials but did not meet federal criteria for coronavirus testing.

The crew contacted the airport about the passenger ahead of its arrival, according to Fran Phillips, deputy secretary for public health for Maryland’s Department of Health.

“The airport out of abundance of caution notified state authorities and wanted to make certain that this individual was handled properly,” said Phillips.

Phillips said a medical team met the plane and transported the man to a medical facility, where he was examined.

Here we go.

Impeding our ability to travel based on a virus that 1 one millionth of the population has contracted.
Almost certainly a biological weapon
