Erazo said authorities had contacted 80 of the 102 passengers also aboard the Copa Airlines flight to determine their condition. All were asked to voluntarily stay home for a few days. The six crew members returned to Panama.

Chile so far has checked 171 suspected A(H1N1) flu cases, with only two confirmed.
