So even if on a plane with someone with Covid-19 the risk is low. ~20% of seats on a A320 would be at risk of there was a person on the plane who was infectious. Then factor in ~99% of flights don't have a contagious person. The probability is low.
Absolutely, but I think in the current climate it is best to avoid unnecessary travel if not needed, you never know what will happen. The people in the 2 rows in front and behind the person on the flight to and from Palmerston North probably thought the same thing, but now they have to undergo 2 weeks of anxiety which is rather sad.
