Woman tests positive for COVID-19 mid-flight, isolates for 5 hours in bathroom
A Michigan schoolteacher who tested positive for COVID-19 in the middle of a flight to Iceland a few days before Christmas says she ended up voluntarily isolated in the plane's cramped bathroom for the last five hours of the trip to Reykjavik.
Fotieo opted to stay isolated in the airplane bathroom for the remainder of the flight, which she estimated was five hours. "She made sure I had everything I needed for the next five hours from food to drinks and constantly checked on me assuring me I would be all right," Fotieo wrote in an email to NBC News.
