52 coronavirus cases linked to flight from India to Hong Kong despite negative test requirements

More than a third of the passengers on flight UK6395—52 so far—have tested positive, the most from any plane arriving in the city.

Speaking from the hospital, Mrs. Fathima said she feared her family picked up the infections on the April 3 journey, despite wearing masks almost the entire time and avoiding using the restrooms on board. Some passengers—including one in the same row—coughed repeatedly during the six-hour flight, people took masks off to eat, and some parents walked their crying children up and down the aisle, she said.
