On Wednesday, an Indonesian man infected with the new coronavirus (Covid-19) disguised himself as his wife to board a commercial flight and escape the authorities. Defined as “DW” only, the man wore a “niqab” or black headscarf while covering his face and showing his wife’s ID card. The defendant attempted to board a Citilink flight from Jakarta to Ternate, with a false negative PCR test result, Indonesian authorities said, according to multiple reports. However, he was arrested. After a flight attendant on a Citilink flight, police arrested a suspicious man changing clothes in the toilet of a plane bound for Jakarta to Ternate in North Maluku province.
Ternate Police Chief Aditya Laximada reportedly stated that the man had bought plane tickets on behalf of his wife and tried to fly on her behalf because he was infected with the new coronavirus. The police chief added that the man was carrying an identity card, PCR test results, and a vaccination card in his wife’s name. He was caught on landing. All documents found by law enforcement officers on behalf of his wife. She tried to mislead airport authorities while traveling in a black headscarf.
Police launched an investigation, and the cross-dressed man is now self-isolating at home. He was taken to an ambulance after he was re-diagnosed with COVID-19. An officer who tested him mid-flight secured him with personal protective equipment (PPE) to avoid transmission on the plane. Muhammed Arif Jani, head of operations for the Ternati COVID-19 team, told reporters that the man had not been vaccinated and had to be evacuated. Police said DW would be tried after his mandatory isolation period was over.
