A discussion about the airline industry, airline employees, and all things related

A 22-year-old Pakistani man was diagnosed with Polio after returning to Australia from a holiday in Pakistan.  Now the Australian government is searching for passengers on the plane he was on.  Thai Airlines flight TG999 from Bangkok arrived in Australian on July 2^nd. 

Victoria's chief health officer Dr John Carnie said authorities were trying to contact passengers. "We started this process last night, so are still to find out if we have in fact managed to get in touch with many of these people."

The patient has been isolated in quarantine, including his family. 

Australian officials are on the look out for passengers across the nation that might be exhibiting polios symptoms.  However, officials says that the risk is low to the general public because of Australia's child immunization programs.
