This image is a composite infographic related to a COVID-19 outbreak investigation on a flight. It consists of three main sections:

1. **Section (a)**: A world map showing the travel routes of different cases (A to G) using colored lines. Each case is represented by a different color (e.g., light blue for A, dark blue for B, red for C, etc.). The map shows the origin and destination points of the flight paths, with a focus on Flight EK448.

2. **Section (b)**: A timeline chart showing the dates from September 25 to October 9. It includes bars for each case (A to G) indicating the timeline of symptom onset, negative and positive PCR tests, likely incubation periods, and likely infectious periods. The flight date (September 29) is highlighted with an airplane icon.

3. **Section (c)**: A seating chart of the airplane (Flight EK448) showing the seat locations of the cases (A to G) with their respective colors. It also indicates seats with negative tests on day 3 and 12 (circled) and empty seats (outlined).

The image provides a detailed visual representation of the spread and timeline of COVID-19 cases associated with a specific flight.
