    Hi,

    On July 3 I will fly from Toronto to Bucharest ( Romania). The tichet was purchased through Delta. The flight has a stopover in Paris and the flight numbers are AF 0351 and DL 8476. At beginning of May I was I infected with COVID 19. I was informed that after being positive, further Covid 19 tests might come back positive for up 3 months. I do have proof of my positive test from beginning of May,as well the letter from Health Service that says I need to isolate from May4- May 14 and the letter that says I finished my isolation.
