vacation-before-flying-back-to-los-angeles/
A Chinese man who tested positive for coronavirus fell sick on a family
vacation to Mexico before he flew back to Los Angeles, according to a report.
The 38-year-old man, who was only identified as Q.L., traveled Jan. 20 to
Mexico City on a Delta Airlines flight from Los Angeles, the Mexican
newspaper Milenio reported.
Upon arrival, the man took an Uber to the Hotel Hilton Mexico City Reforma,
where he was staying with his family, according to the report.
The next day, they had breakfast in the hotel before roaming around the city
’s tourist sights, the report said.
The group walked about a mile to the Catedral Metropolitana, went to a
museum and ate tacos at a local restaurant, the outlet reported.
Later that evening, he began to feel ill and the next day took an Uber back
to the airport, where he flew back with his family on an American Airlines
flight to LA, the report said.
American Airlines confirmed that a passenger from the flight received
medical attention upon arrival and was transported to a local medical center
for “precautionary reasons.”
“The safety of our customers and team members is our top priority,” a
spokesperson told The Post.
Mexico’s health ministry said Saturday that a person carrying the new
coronavirus had visited Mexico City, but since left the country, and that it
had taken steps to monitor whether the illness spread.
The department said it informed guests at the hotel, as well as Uber, about
the man’s case.

“An epidemiological investigation is being carried out with the objective
of identifying potential contacts that could have been spread,” the
department said, adding that no one had shown any symptoms of the
coronavirus.
Uber said Mexico City health officials reached out for information about the
man after he was confirmed to have the coronavirus, and the the company
suspended two drivers whom he came into contact with on the trip, as well as
the accounts of 240 other riders in case one of the drivers potentially
spread the virus to them.
“We directed them to contact the public health authorities for further
information,” the company said in a statement to The Post.
The accounts will remain suspended for two weeks — the known incubation
period for the virus.
Hilton Hotels & Resorts said medical and guest privacy rules prevent it from
commenting on the case.
Mexico has reported no confirmed cases of the coronavirus, which originated
in China and spread to more than 20,000 people.
Delta and the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention didn’t respond
to questions about the case.
