(Web Desk) -A woman who tested positive for COVID during a transatlantic flight self-isolated for five hours in the plane’s toilet to protect other passengers.

Michigan schoolteacher Marisa Fotieo was travelling from Chicago to Reykjavik, Iceland on 20 December when her throat began to hurt.

She took a rapid COVID test she was carrying with her and within "what felt like two seconds there were two lines".

Ms Fotieo decided that to protect the other 150 passengers and crew on the Icelandair flight she would lock herself away in one of the toilets for the remainder of the journey.

And she captured her experience of confinement in the tiny loo in a TikTok video that has been viewed more than three million times.
