3 pilots were infected with "Corona" during a flight... What was the airline's procedure?

In an unprecedented incident, an airline severely punished 3 of its pilots for contracting the Corona virus during a business trip, noting that they committed a “serious violation” of the rules while they were outside the country.

And Cathay Pacific Company, headquartered in Hong Kong, said it had dismissed 3 pilots who contracted “Covid 19” during their flight stop in the German city of Frankfurt.

The company said in a statement that "the individuals concerned are no longer employed by Cathay Pacific," while the "South China Morning" newspaper, which is issued from Hong Kong, stated that there was a suspicion that the three pilots had left their hotel rooms in Germany, in violation of the company's rules.

The discovery of the three injuries led to the placement of more than 150 employees of the company, including pilots and flight attendants, in a quarantine facility for a period of 3 weeks, in addition to their family members.

Hong Kong has recorded very few local cases of corona in recent months, but the authorities have tightened quarantine rules

Hong Kong is following the lead of mainland China in maintaining strict travel restrictions, in contrast to the global trend of openness and coexistence with the Corona virus.

A few days ago, Cathay Pacific said that it operated in October with only 10 percent of passenger capacity before the pandemic, while it had recorded a 97.2 percent decrease in passenger numbers compared to 2019.
