Korean Air cabin crew, confirmed to be diagnosed with Swine Coronavirus Infection (Corona 19), is reportedly confirmed after a recent trip to Los Angeles (LA).

According to the government and aviation industry on the 25th, the flight attendants were confirmed on self-containment due to corona19 suspicion after returning home on flights between Incheon and LA on 19-20 this month.

It was confirmed that the crew also boarded the Incheon to Tel Aviv route prior to the Incheon to LA route.

As a result, it is suspected that he participated in a pilgrimage to Israel and boarded a flight such as Catholic Andong parishioners who were confirmed in a pile.

The pilgrimage pilgrimage of Andong, Uiseong, and lords, who entered the country after pilgrimage to Israel on the 8th and 16th, was confirmed in a pile.

However, Korean Air and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have not made official announcements regarding flights taken before the crew was quarantined.

As a result, there is growing confusion among passengers on the route and confirmed crews, such as airport officials, who may overlap the line.

One official said, "The fact that this flight attendant doesn't mean you have to quarantine all the passengers on that flight," he said.

At this time, it is estimated that the infection was carried on the Tel Aviv route, but further investigation is needed.

Ordinarily, aircraft are virus-safe because they supply heated sterilized air through a HEPA filter.

The outside air entering the cabin via the aircraft engine is compressed through the engine compressor and is completely sterilized.

In addition, new air is introduced through the engine during air circulation, and the internal air is exhausted to the outside of the aircraft while the cabin is ventilated every two to three minutes. The curtain says it's hard to spread the virus on board, the airline says.

If in-flight infections are identified, the industry's premise that "the interior of the aircraft is safe from viruses" can be broken.

Korean Air has been making self-containment for 14 days for crew members on the same flight.

In addition, we will close the Incheon Crew Briefing Room (IOC) from this afternoon.

IOC is located in a separate building near Incheon International Airport.

Accordingly, Korean Air decided to prepare the cabin crew at Incheon Airport Passenger Terminal 2 and carry out the pre-flight briefing on board until IOC operation resumes.

Within blinds, an anonymous bulletin board application (app), unverified rumors are spreading that additional crew members are available.

An official of Korean Air explained, “We are currently investigating the crew's movement and route of infection, and we will take action when the investigation is completed.”
