The Korean Air crew went to Los Angeles (LA) with another confirmed Korean Coronavirus Infectious Disease-19 (Corona 19) confirming another emergency.

According to Yongin-si and Korean Air today, Mayor Baekgungi stated on Facebook that "A Korean crew member in Giheung-gu was positively corona 19".

Baek explained that Mr. A had been to Los Angeles, USA, 18-21 last month, and is investigating the source of infection.

As a result, Mr. A was on self-containment on board KE012 flight from LA to Incheon last 20th last month with Korean Air crew B, who had been confirmed corona19 on 25th.

In general, long-distance crew members are often infected by contact with Mr. B, given that both departures and arrivals often travel together or eat together when on the same flight and staying on site.

A and B also took flight KE017 from Incheon to LA on the 19th of last month.

All of the self-contained crews who had symptoms such as a mild cough were all tested for Corona19, and Korean Air explained that all other crew members except A were judged 'voiced'.

The Korean Air has made an additional week of self-containment of the 30 crew members who were currently quarantined in case of further incidents.

The authorities are currently identifying Mr. A's movements, routes of infection, and additional contacts.

"We will disclose the details of Mr. A's route and contact information transparently and promptly as soon as the results of the epidemiologist's investigation," Baek said.
