747s Carrying Americans Exposed To Coronavirus Used New Quarantine Box For Infected Flyers
A pair of Kalitta Air 747-400ERF freighters carrying hundreds of U.S. citizens home from Japan after weeks quarantined on board the cruise ship Diamond Princess, where dozens have already contracted a novel coronavirus that first emerged in China late last year, have arrived at two American military bases. Pictures from the operation show that at least one of the aircraft was carrying a specialized shipping container-sized containment system to isolate individuals diagnosed with the virus from the other passengers and crew.
