Narrative:

I wanted to report an incident involving a covid positive passenger on flight abc ZZZ-ZZZZ. Upon arrival in ZZZZ flight attendants were made aware of a covid positive passenger. The rep announced over the PA the passenger's name; and seat number - and said multiple times for the passenger to remain on the plane and not to deplane. After all the passengers have deplaned. The flight attendants and pilots stayed on the aircraft as the medic was assessing the affected passenger. Shortly after the medic left; he returned and checked our temperatures. We were told we could clear customs and go to the hotel. We were later told; that a minimum crew of 3 needed to stay behind on the plane until the covid positive passenger had deplaned. 3 fas stayed behind until the passenger deplaned and the rest went to the hotel.
