Eh, that doesn't seem that unreasonable. If they don't want him on the plane with an NCoV sample and they prefer he use a shipping company to send it, I guess that avoids the possiblity of an accidental exposure to other passengers on the plane if something went wrong. I hope they alerted the shipping company as well to prevent an exposure there.

Although, if he is carrying something as dangerous as NCoV (which should be a level 4 biohazard), one would hope it is in a more secure container....
