Abstract
Epidemiologic and genomic investigation of SARS-CoV-2 infections associated with 2 repatriation flights from Australia to India in April 2021 indicated that 4 passengers transmitted SARS-CoV-2 to >11 other passengers. Results suggest transmission despite mandatory mask use and predeparture testing. For subsequent flights, predeparture quarantine and expanded predeparture testing were implemented.
