Mid-flight measles

Apr 26, 2018

The Health Ministry has denied allegations that two Malaysian passengers aboard a flight to New Zealand some two weeks ago, had a case of the measles.

This, after the ministry conducted a health screening on them, and confirmed they showed no signs of the virus.

New Zealand initially claimed the two Malaysians had spread the virus, when it was actually a New Zealand national on board the flight that carried it.
