Four persons with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection had traveled on the same flight from Boston, Massachusetts, USA, to Hong Kong, China. Their virus genetic sequences are identical, unique, and belong to a clade not previously identified in Hong Kong, which strongly suggests that the virus can be transmitted during air travel.
4 名严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒 2 感染患者曾搭乘同一航班从美国马萨诸塞州波士顿飞往中国香港。他们的病毒基因序列完全相同,且属于在香港尚未发现的分支,这强烈表明病毒可以在航空旅行中传播。
