Champions League Final | Travel Requirements + COVID Tests

Not sure if it is row specific or the whole plane?
After having the text and then email just had NHS T&T ring me up. Asked the girl if they had any info on the source and she said they can only see a date. Told her we know it's from a flight based on info on here but she didn't have any of that info. Not surprised but told her I would have been interested to know if it was person next to me or someone 20 rows away.
 
I was on Flight 15. I didn’t put the track and trace on my phone as I went into total meltdown filling all the forms to actually go. Who’s been contacting people? Dante labs have just confirmed they have and are doing my test from today.
 
There could be more planes go under as my results are outstanding.

It was like a super spreader event from the beginning. The massive queues at Manchester airport where it started, masks on plane then serving food and drinks so optional in effect, planes crammed with over 200 people, bus to the terminal with 4 times too many people on to follow the rules, the big queues at Porto airport, the huddle before the coach, the coaches all being full, same on the reverse except kept in coaches for hours longer than needed, and no masks at the ground.

The holding people on coaches several hours for a 20 minute journey was the real thing the organisers had under their control which could be avoided for certain. Rather than some over confident Pontins red coat type walking up and down the centre of the coach with no mask, giving another different reason why the coach can't set off.
The buses from the fan zone to the ground were the worst. Wedged in like sardines, sweatier than a wrestler’s jockstrap, and loads of pissed up Blues bellowing out songs without their masks on.

Of note with flights 5 & 15, is that both were heavily delayed. Flight 5 missed its 01:30hrs time slot and then sat on the tarmac for 2hrs 30m until 04:00hrs waiting for a new one, and flight 5 was apparently delayed for 1hr 30m after some prized penis decided to get up and try and use the toilet when the plane was on the runway and about to take off, causing the pilot to abort take off and then wait for a new departure slot

All the contact (text, email, phone call) been from NHS Track & Trace. I assume any private test comapny doing Day 2 tests are obliged to report positive test results. Could be the individual themselves. Can't remember if we had to put our flight numbers on our UK locator forms but maybe traced back thoguht that.

Yeah you did, and your seat number.

If all the systems talk to each other then it should be straightforward enough to put 2 and 2 together and figure out who needs to isolate
 
Flight 5, Row 37 here. If I've read all the information on the Government website correctly, if you've had symptoms of Covid since the flight and then obtain a negative test you no longer have to self-isolate.

I remeber that now because we didn't know our flight seat numbers in advance and advised to put "unknown" on return flight. Made up number of outbound flight.
 
Sounds a right ballache. I’d imagine everyone on the flight will be told to isolate.

Looking back, I have to agree that it was indeed a superspreader event. I tried to do my bit by wearing a mask while walking the streets of Porto as did many other blues but once I hit the riverside and got on the pop a lot of that went out of the window as it did for many others.
