Woman isolates in airplane bathroom for three hours after positive COVID test
CHICAGO, Ill. (KYMA, KECY) - A Chicago woman says she chose to isolate in an airplane bathroom for three hours after testing positive for COVID mid-flight.
Marisa Fotieo was flying to Iceland on December 19 with her brother and dad.
She says she took two PCR tests and about five rapid tests before the flight, all of them negative.
But, when she started to feel a sore throat on the flight, she took another test and it was positive.
She says the flight was full, so there was no way to rearrange seating so she could be distanced from others.
She says a flight attendant asked if she would stay in the bathroom and she gladly agreed, to protect others on the flight.
