“Thus, related to the flight VN54 from England to Vietnam on 2/3, up to now, there have been recorded 12 cases, including those sitting in the business seats in the same compartment as NHN patients, there are People sit in the regular compartment.
Of the 12 confirmed cases with the same flight, 10 were foreign nationals, mostly British nationals. The remaining two cases, including NHN patient and Mr. NQT, were both in Truc Bach - Ba Dinh - Hanoi, the two of them sat near the rows of seats, along with the business compartment.”
From my read of the Vietnamese text into English (and Chinese):
i) Both J pax (adjacent to 5K) and pax in Y got infected?
ii) Pax in the Y cabin adjacent to the J cabin got infected, along with people in the J cabin?
"After touching down in Hanoi on 2 March on Vietnam Airlines flight VN54 – where they sat two rows behind the woman, 26, from Hanoi who was carrying the virus – the couple visited attractions in the capital before moving on to Sapa in north-west Vietnam. They were contacted on Saturday and told that someone on their flight had tested positive for coronavirus.
He said: “Last night [Sunday] we were told that we had the virus, although my wife and I do not have symptoms. I asked how can that be? I was told 80% of people carrying the virus do not have symptoms. So it’s like catching a ghost if that’s correct.
“Before we left Lao Cai I had a call from the district foreign office official who said that everywhere we had been we had left people with infection. He emphasised it was not our fault but one of the reasons he wanted us out of the Lao Cai hospital was to accommodate 54 more suspected cases.”"
