A ministry spokeswoman said: “These cases are visitors who are asymptomatic, tested positive on their day 8 test and had negative pre-arrival tests, arrival tests and day 4 tests.

“There have now been ten cases from this flight and all additional passengers were placed under quarantine from 4 November 2020 through 10 November 2020.”

The virus has been detected in people aged between 7 and 101.
