Cayman police seeking charges for woman who entered country despite testing positive for COVID-19

The Royal Cayman Islands Police Service says it plans to send a file to the Office of Director of Public Prosecutions on a Cayman Airways passenger who entered the country despite testing positive for COVID-19 prior to departing from Jamaica.
 
The police, in a response to queries from the Cayman Compass newspaper said they are also reviewing the penal code to establish if passengers and crew on the plane were put in danger by the passenger.
 
News emerged earlier this month that Cayman Airways was conducting a probe after the woman was allowed to board a flight in Kingston and travel to Grand Cayman. 
 
The woman and her companion were detained when a Customs and Border Control officer at Owen Roberts International Airport checked her PCR documents.
 
The couple was placed in quarantine.
