Passenger infected with COVID-19 is pulled off Ryanair flight by hazmat-clad officials

 

Dramatic footage has captured the moment a Coronavirus patient was pulled out of a Ryanair flight by Hazmat suit-wearing health officials.

 

The incident happened minutes before takeoff on a Pisa-bound flight from London Stansted Airport on Wednesday, August 26.

 

The clip, posted by Twitter user @FionnMurphy10, shows three officials covered in full protective gear approach a man at the front of the plane.

 

The passenger and his travel companion stayed on the plane for less than 10 minutes before the officials removed them from the plane, Ryanair said.

 

A spokesperson for Ryanair told Daily Star Online: "A passenger who boarded a flight from London Stansted to Pisa on Wed 26 Aug, received a text message notification before departure that he had tested positive for Covid-19.

 

"The passenger and his travel companion were immediately offloaded and taken to a Stansted Airport isolation area where they were assisted by local public health authorities.

 

"Since this passenger and his companion had complied fully with Ryanair health regulations, they were both wearing masks at all times at Stansted Airport and for the very short period (less than 10 mins) they were seated on the aircraft prior to departure, there was little if any risk of Covid-19 transmission to other passengers or crew members as all of whom were also wearing face masks at all times.

 

"The aircraft departed for Pisa following a delay of 1hr 20 mins to allow for the empty seats and overhead cabin bins to be disinfected to comply with all UK health authority guidance. Ryanair apologises to all passengers for this short delay."

Military dismisses reports of ISIS members spotted in Oyo state

 

The Nigerian Army has dismissed reports that ISIS fighters have been spotted in the Oke-Ogun area of Oyo State.

 

Gani Adams, the Aare Ona Kakanfo-in-Council, in a statement released after an extraordinary meeting of the council recently, claimed suspected ISIS terrorists were now in Oke-Ogun, Oyo State.

“Indeed, the intel also reveals that about 500 power-bikes and assorted ammunition belonging to the terrorists have been sighted along the abandoned Lusada route moving towards Sokoto, from Igbo-Ora in Oyo State,” he claimed

 

Reacting to Gani's claim, the Coordinator, Defence Media Operations, Maj.-Gen. John Enenche said it is nothing but just an alarm and that the Nigerian security agencies were equal to the task, and would not handle it with kid gloves.

 

Speaking to journalists in Abuja on Thursday, August 27, Enenche said

“From the report I have, it is just that one where the U.S. AFRICOM advised and cautioned us about, so I believe that is what people are magnifying. But I can tell you that we have put machinery in place together with other security agencies.

So, we should be careful, because we get such stories everyday, which may be fake, though it could be true, but we don’t overlook such things.

My response is that it is not new and if it is new, tell the public that we have every machinery in place together with other security agencies as usual to handle it with their cooperation.”
