新冠阳性男子在美联航上发病身亡，同机参与救治乘客出现感染症状

12月17日，在飞往洛杉矶的美联航UA519航班上，一位男子突然呼吸急促，最后不治身亡，事后男子被披露是新冠确诊患者。男子在飞机上发病时，同机一位好心乘客，32岁的Tony Aldapa参与到了救治男子的行列，他们对发病男子进行了近45分钟的心肺复苏术。

然而，在事情发生后的第10天，Aldapa才收到了来自公共卫生部的通知。公共卫生部告诉他，被他救助的男子死于呼吸衰竭和COVID-19，而且每个试图帮助过该男子的的人都可能接触过病毒。Aldapa在事后也确实出现了类似冠状病毒的症状。

事件发生后，联合航空公司向疾控中心提供了乘客名单。疾病预防控制中心将与当地卫生官员合作，与该机构认为可能接触病毒的客户取得联系。但是据Aldapa在推特上说：他知道航班上的其他乘客们，根本没有收到任何类似于他这样的接触警告消息。

幸运的是， Aldapa多次新冠检测的结果均为阴性。

For Tony Aldapa, 32, the news didn’t come as a surprise, since his story had made national headlines the week prior: he performed CPR for 45 minutes on a man who suffered a medical emergency midflight and it was later determined that the man had died of respiratory failure and COVID-19. Everyone who tried to help him had likely been exposed to the virus.

But Aldapa, who has since claimed that he was experiencing coronavirus-like symptoms, alleged on Twitter that it took 10 days for his local department of public health to contact him and warn of the possible exposure.

Aldapa further claimed on Twitter that he knows of other passengers on the flight who "haven't heard from anyone at all" regarding exposure warnings.He also claimed he hasn’t been contacted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) directly, although United Airlines has previously stated that the CDC would work with local health officials to conduct outreach.

United Airlines had provided the CDC with a passenger manifest after the incident occurred. At the time, a spokesperson for the airline told Fox News that the CDC would be working with local health officials to contact customers that the agency believed were possibly exposed to the virus.

Fortunately, Aldapa was tested and received multiple negative results for COVID-19.  source
