Corona diagnosis during flight: American schoolteacher experiences quarantine in plane toilet
It is natural for anyone to be scared of Corona disease anywhere, but what if someone at an altitude of 23,000 feet in the air knows that he has Corona?
Something similar happened to Marissa Fusio, an American schoolteacher who had to spend about five hours in a toilet on December 20 on a flight from Chicago to Iceland.
The reason was that during the flight, Marissa noticed a sore throat, so she immediately tested her own Corona with the Rapid Cut she had. In a short time, they got a positive result of this test, after which the question arose, what to do during this flight full of 150 people?
''I was afraid someone would get the virus from me. "
Marissa Fushio, from Michigan, started her journey from Chicago to Iceland without realizing that she would have to spend most of her life in a plane toilet, fearing she had the corona virus.
According to a schoolteacher in Michigan, USA, this was a strange experience in his life.
She told that when he found out that he had been coded, his biggest fear was how to protect the other passengers on the plane.
In view of this danger, they turned to the plane's toilet and spent the next five hours there, until the plane landed.
Marissa also made a video from the plane's toilet, which was shared on TikTok's social media platform. This video has been viewed 4 million times so far.
"The crew took great care."
The way Marissa acted responsibly after being diagnosed with the corona virus was taken care of by the flight attendants.
She says,''During this time, the flight attendant made sure that their food needs were met''.
Marissa praised the Iceland AirJet flight attendant, saying that he not only took care of my food and drink during the five hours, but also kept asking me how he was doing.
The diagnosis of corona during a flight on a plane and the quarantine in the toilet is probably a unique event that Marissa will always remember.
According to Marissa, after arriving in Iceland, she had to quarantine herself at a Red Cross hotel.
''It is unknown at this time what he will do after leaving the post''.
