More in the article but an extract is below

A Flybe flight was held in lockdown at Manchester Airport for two hours after a passenger fell ill.

The flight from Paris arrived at 10:25 BST but passengers were not allowed to disembark.

Public Health England (PHE) said the passenger had "gastro-intestinal symptoms" and the risk to other passengers was "very low".

Flybe said passengers were given the all-clear and the aircraft would be back in service after a deep clean.

PHE said the ill passenger was taken to hospital for treatment and said all other passengers had gone on to continue their journeys.

Earlier, a passenger tweeted a picture from plane, which he said was "surrounded by police", and described being "stranded".
