WA’s health department has apologised for accidentally leaking the personal details of passengers aboard a flight carrying a person infected with monkeypox.

A woman who travelled on the flight from Doha last week said she received the document in an email from WA Health.

It contained the personal information of 47 passengers who sat near each other on the flight, including their names, addresses and passport numbers.

“There was one name highlighted which was also shocking,” the woman told ABC radio on Wednesday.
