The government of Argentina is concerned after a flight from Cancun to Buenos Aires, because 149 of 44 passengers tested positive for the corona virus using PCR. The incident happened on Sunday. The number even increased, because another 55 infected people were found on other flights from Mexico to Buenos Aires.

The government is seriously concerned about the high number of positive cases that have traveled from Mexico to Argentina on commercial aircraft. An appeal is now being made to the population to refrain from traveling to the affected state. The official Argentina fears a bigger corona problem around Cancun. Only recently was the inner-city Buenos Aires Jorge Newbery Airport reactivated.

This realization could also attract the attention of European governments, as Cancun is a particularly popular holiday destination. Lufthansa announced a few days ago that it would be in In the direction of Mexico there was a strong increase in demand. Therefore, the flights to the country are also being increased. The German government has not yet made a decision, but it can be assumed that developments will be kept under control.

The travel volume between Cancun and Buenos Airlines is currently quite high. For example, Aerolinas Argentinas regularly operates long-haul Airbus A330-200 jets. The government of Argentina now wants to check passengers coming from Mexico more closely, because they fear that they could otherwise "fly in" new corona clusters. It would therefore not be at all absurd if the governments of various EU states could soon react with corresponding restrictions.
