The man has been advised not to socialise or travel for the next few days.

AN IRISH MAN was on the same flight as an American man who was diagnosed with the virus MERS, and is now undergoing tests to see if it was transferred to him.

The Irishman, Paddy Reilly, took the flight from Riyadh in Saudi Arabia to Heathrow on 23 April. He told TheJournal.ie that he was sitting behind the American man on this flight...

...Reilly took an Aer Lingus flight from Heathrow to Ireland on 24 April, after his British Airways flight. He then spent two days here before his return to Saudi Arabia...

Re: Irishman being tested after travelling on same plane as US man with MERS virus

If at May 9 (14 days after the contact with the US patient who incubates MERS-CoV but was not symptomatic) he will remain well, the likelihood of h2h is near zero.
