Coronavirus cases on Qantas flights

Australian health authorities have advised only some passengers on the same flight are considered to have been in close contact with the confirmed case. They'll advise the public if a passenger on a flight is confirmed with coronavirus (COVID-19) at the time of travelling.

Each health authority will undertake the contact tracing process and make direct contact with passengers on that flight who were sitting within two rows in front and behind a confirmed case.
