Possible COVID19 Case-Air Transat 785 w/New York 13348 khz 19:11Z MP3 recording

i just picked up what sounded like a possible case of a passenger on a flight from Malaga, Spain to Montreal, Quebec, Canada suffering from the COVID19 coronavirus. i could mostly only hear the ground station and phone patch because i'm in Seattle. what alerted me to hit record was mention of the passenger coughing, having a high fever and at times unable to breathe. the crew presumably put her on oxygen. the ground station advised isolation from other passengers, they said they needed to give her her own bathroom and that upon arrival the pilot contact the port health authority to organize medical assistance. i edited the audio to take out any identifying information including the reference number. here is the MP3 of the audio https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Nkfsf7gT1LKac7ysZJdX3CuAvCsug0XI/view?usp=sharing
