ABC news reports that Jetblue flight 253 on March 11 landed in Palm Beach where the 114 passengers were held for nearly two hours before being released.
JetBlue representative Derek Dombrowski sent the following statement to Business Insider:
"The health and safety of our customers and crewmembers is our top priority. We're asking customers who do not feel well or are concerned they may have coronavirus to not fly until cleared to travel by a doctor or health professional. JetBlue is currently waiving change and cancellation fees to allow customers the opportunity to change or pause their travel plans should they need to.
"In last night's case, our crewmembers did an incredible job coordinating with health authorities. After health officials allowed customers to disembark, we conducted a thorough sanitizing of the aircraft according to CDC guidance. We have also sanitized common areas in both airport terminals involved. We will continue to coordinate closely with health officials and provide them any additional information required.
"The rest of the passengers were released to go home," and instructed to call the local health department with any other concern, the statement continued.
