Michigan teacher Marisa Fotieo, took two PCR tests and about five rapid tests, all of which came back negative. But about an hour and a half into the flight she felt her throat began to hurt halfway through the trip, so she went to the bathroom to perform a rapid Covid test which confirmed she was infected.
The flight attendant tried to rearrange seats so Ms Fotieo could be seated in a spot alone, but the flight was full. When she came back and told Fotieo that she couldn't find enough seating, Fotieo opted to stay in the bathroom because she did not want to be around others on the flight.
A note was then put on the bathroom door saying it was out of service, and that was Ms Fotieo's new seat for the remainder of the flight.
Once the plane touched down in Iceland, Ms Fotieo and her family were the last ones off the flight. Since her brother and father didn't have any symptoms, they were free to take their connecting flight to Switzerland. Ms Fotieo was given both a rapid and PCR test at the airport, both of which were positive. She was then shuttled to a hotel where she began her 10 days of quarantine.
