Yes those higher risk contacts in St. Helena are those that interacted with the passangers/crew when the ship was in port. They are not the people that were passangers on board the ship that left.

And second, if you can test them and rule out infection with certainty, why would they be ordered to isolate?

I did not say this. They are testing an already ill flight attendant. You can't test during the incubation period. Which is highly variable with this virus.

The incubation period is huge. In 40 days we'll know if we are having another pandemic or not.
