So first, i don’t think that article says they tracked them all.
And second, if you can test them and rule out infection with certainty, why would they be ordered to isolate?
I think the incubation period does play a role there.
Authorities in St. Helena, the volcanic British territory in the South Atlantic where passengers disembarked, said they were monitoring a small number of people who were considered “higher risk contacts.” Those contacts were being told to isolate for 45 days, the St. Helena government said.
Yes those higher risk contacts in St. Helena are those that interacted with the passangers/crew when the ship was in port. They are not the people that were passangers on board the ship that left.
And second, if you can test them and rule out infection with certainty, why would they be ordered to isolate?
I did not say this. They are testing an already ill flight attendant. You can’t test during the incubation period. Which is highly variable with this virus.
The incubation period is huge. In 40 days we’ll know if we are having another pandemic or not.
