At least 52 people from a single flight from Delhi to Hong Kong have tested positive for Covid-19, despite all passengers presenting a negative coronavirus test before boarding.
All of the passengers who tested positive flew into Hong Kong on a flight from India's capital, run by Indian airline Vistara on April 4.
Hong Kong as a whole has been recording fewer daily new infections than the total number detected on the flight, since it brought a fourth wave of infections under control in January.

Thats a flat out lie. You’re very misinformed.
Just trying to account for the discrepancy in testing. Bad thermometer on the departure side?
I wish they’d close our borders!
China test are good. Anal swabs, remember?
Yeah SHUT DOWN THE WORLD!!!
Which reinforces the notion that this is all a hoax. There’s no possible way 53 people could test negative, then positive, within the time frame of one airline flight. What a crock.
Most likely bought fake test reports.
Typical Indian crap. They lie and cheat. I have worked with those folks. It’s in their dna
Or India is incompetent at testing and they all had it when they left India .
Just FYI, the tests are so often wrong as to be borderline absurd. I know people who were in contact with others who tested positive for COVID, got very sick themselves, and still tested negative. On the other hand, I know numerous people who tested positive with zero symptoms. It’s an amazing virus, this.
SOS messages, panic as virus breaks India’s health system; US tourists could return to Europe soon:
The Guardian’s Hannah Ellis-Petersen joins Fareed for a report from the front lines of India’s devastating second wave of Covid-19 infections.
NEW DELHI (AP) — Dr. Gautam Singh dreads the daily advent of the ventilator beeps, signaling that oxygen levels are critically low, and hearing his critically ill patients start gasping for air in the New Delhi emergency ward where he works.
Like other doctors across the country, which on Monday set another record for new coronavirus infections for a fifth day in a row at more than 350,000, the cardiologist has taken to begging and borrowing cylinders of oxygen just to keep his most critical patients alive for one more day.
On Sunday evening, when the oxygen supplies of other nearby hospitals were also near empty, the desperate 43-year-old took to social media, posting an impassioned video plea on Twitter.
A relative of a person who died of COVID-19 reacts at a crematorium in Jammu, India, Sunday, April.25, 2021.
“Please send oxygen to us,” he said with folded hands and a choked voice. “My patients are dying.”
India was initially seen as a success story in weathering the pandemic, but the virus is now racing through its massive population of nearly 1.4 billion, and systems are beginning to collapse.
SOS messages like the one Singh sent reveal the extent of panic in a country where infections are hitting new peaks daily.

Or the more probable reason is that the PCR tests in the two countries are set at different cycle rates.
“Maybe the tests are garbage?”
Maybe the certificates are fake ...
Was the same test administered by the same person at both ends of the trip?
HEPA FILTER MY ASS !
How long does it take to develop a “Case” of the covids?
Can you really catch it and test positive in under 24 hours?
The test is the virus?
>>Imagine planning two weeks visiting your kids or going to a meeting critical to your job and finding you can’t because of a slight fever or a “positive” test that may mean absolutely nothing.
The CDC said that it was ok for people who actively test POSITIVE for covid to go vote at the polls on election day.
This never has been about stopping the spread of a virus.
There are reports (on Channel News Asia - Singapore) that rich Indians are chartering planes to go to the UK before Indians are banned from there. I’m guessing no PCR or other tests involved in private, chartered (non-commercial) aviation. I could be wrong.
