The situation was exposed after the airport’s thermal cameras detected that the young man had a fever and had concealed the result of his swab. For this reason, he was arrested at Ezeiza International Airport and today faces a complaint that is worth up to 15 years in prison. The Directorate-General for Migration reported that he was infected and had boarded the flight by presenting a medical certificate that he reported that he had no Covid-19-compatible symptoms. As a result, the authorities will also fine the airline that allowed it to board the aircraft without the negative PCR certificate required by Argentina.
