In an interview with CNN, Fotieo said she was fully vaccinated with a booster shot and had been en route to her final destination of Switzerland with her brother and father when she tested positive mid-flight.
"I opted to stay in the bathroom because I did not want to be around others on the flight," the early childhood teacher said.
She said the self-isolation was made bearable because of the care of flight attendant Ragnhildur "Rocky" Eiríksdóttir.
"She made sure I had everything I needed for the next five hours from food to drinks and constantly checked on me assuring me I would be all right," Marisa wrote in an email to NBC News.
