Four people who flew from Auckland to Bangkok, in Thailand, this week have been taken to hospital with high fevers.

The travellers, four Thai nationals, prompted Covid-19 fears as they underwent a health screening at Bangkok Airport after disembarking flight TG492 from Auckland.

The Bangkok Post reports that they have been taken to hospital after registering high fevers.

"My temperature is normal so far and I've had the first of 2 covid tests," Wayne Hay, who was also on the flight, said.
