Thailand’s Public Health has also informed Thai Airways about the passengers who had tested positive, reported The Bangkok Insight.
And so, the airline has ordered the crew from both flights to stay at home and monitor themselves for 14 days. A deep cleaning and disinfection of the aircraft will also be conducted.
