The follower may not take flight to or over a tile with a flea token (either active or latent) or an active Outbreak. [1] It may take flight to a tile on which there is already a follower. Naturally, a follower may not take flight over areas where there is no tile. [2] [3]

This sentence was mistranslated in the CAR, allowing a player to flee across an active Outbreak. This was the wording before the correction:
"The follower may not take flight to or over a tile with a flea token (either active or latent), nor to a tile with an active Outbreak."

Since a follower cannot flee to a tile with a flea token (either active or latent), it seems reasonable to infer that a follower could not be deployed to a tile with a flea token by means of a magic portal or a flying machine. The rationale behind it would be that flea tokens can become active or inactive at any time, so no follower should be allowed on a tile with a flea token.
The same reasoning could be applied to outbreak tiles. In this case, a follower could only be deployed to an outbreak tile once inactive, since its state will not change. - ↑
Special figures such as the builder, the pig and the shepherd may also take flight from the plague. In this case, the sheep tokens will move along with its shepherd.
Question: Are special figures such as the builder, the pig and the shepherd allowed to take flight from the plague as well?
Answer: Special figures like the builder, the pig and the shepherd may also take flight from the plague instead of a follower. Followers and special figures may share the same feature on a tile when taking flight. (8/2021)
