Korean Air's cabin crew A, who was confirmed corona19, was put on board a passenger plane back in Incheon from Tel Aviv in Israel on the 15th.

It was reported that 30 people were confirmed by a plane on a pilgrimage group in Gyeongbuk province.

It is said that airplanes are sterilized by air through hepa filters, which are safe from viruses, but some say they cannot rule out the possibility of infection on board.

[Kim Dong-hyun, Chairman of the Korean Society of Epidemiology (Professor, Hallym University): (Infection) is likely. The handle of the bathroom will be on this place.]

A was also in Los Angeles four days after the Israeli flight.

It is known that they could leave the country after being quarantined due to no clinical symptoms such as fever.

A stayed at the Walsh Grand Center Hotel in Los Angeles for about a day and a half, coughing symptoms returned to Incheon.

After returning home, I visited a health center and was confirmed yesterday (25th).

Korean Air said, "We are discussing the details of Mr. A's domestic and international routes with the health authorities in detail."

The crew also closed its flight preparation office and self-contained dozens of people, including Mr. A, who worked with Mr. A for 14 days.

However, it is difficult to estimate who has been exposed to Mr. A's movement, such as on board the aircraft, in Los Angeles, or in a local restaurant.

This can be caused by restrictions on Korean Air's operations or the prevention of traffic on Los Angeles routes.

Therefore, it is urgent to find out the route of infection and the correlates of confirmed persons.
