Passengers Haven’t Received Any Notifications After COVID-19 Related Death On Flight

A man that died on a United Airlines flight last week had COVID-19. Passengers from the flight told TMZ that United Airlines hasn’t contacted them to tell them that they were exposed to the virus.

The 69-year-0ld Los Angeles resident died at a New Orleans hospital from acute respiratory failure. According to TMZ, the man’s wife was overheard, telling other passengers that he had coronavirus symptoms.

Tony Aldapa, an EMT that was on the flight, administered CPR on the man. Aldapa told TMZ that United Airlines contacted him and told him that incident was being turned over to the CDC. Aldapa has experienced COVID-19 symptoms but has tested negative for the virus.

Other passengers that were on the flight told TMZ that they had not been contacted by anyone about the flight.

“If someone isn’t well – especially, during a pandemic – I would think that would raise a red flag and have the airline maybe question that a little bit before letting someone on a plane like that,” said Megan Roberts, a passenger on the flight said to TMZ.

There are 1.21 million reported cases of the coronavirus and 20,679 deaths in the United States.
