WHO Tedros: KLM flight attendant negative now but may seroconvert later given long incubation

WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus cautioned May 8 that although the KLM KL592 flight attendant exposed to MVH-002 has tested negative, "the incubation period is long and although she is negative for now, she might turn positive in the future." The 42-day surveillance window remains in effect for all KL592 close contacts.
