A person repatriated from Morocco to Romania on Thursday evening tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 infection, and the first indications suggest that it could be the Delta variant, the Ministry of Health (MS) reports.
According to MS, the person is isolated at home, and the Public Health Directorate will start an epidemiological investigation.
The positive sample was sent for sequencing to establish the strain of the virus.
Samples have been collected and processed from all 115 passengers on a Tarom repatriation flight from Morocco that landed in Romania on Thursday evening, with 114 of them coming out negative.
