An additional corona19 confirmed from a foreign ship that entered the port of Busan to repair the hull.

According to the quarantine authorities of Busan Port today (14th), one sailor of the Tuvalu National Sea Fishing Boat (499t), who entered the Port of Busan on the 8th for repair of the hull, was confirmed by Corona19.

It is known that there are 44 crew members on board the ship, including the definitive person.

Quarantine authorities are taking samples from 43 crew members and conducting a Corona 19 diagnostic test, and will announce the results of the test this afternoon.

It has been reported that 43 crew members are contained in the ship, but there is a high risk of further infection due to the large number of crew members in the small ship.

Quarantine authorities are conducting epidemiological investigations to determine the path of infection, such as determining the number of people in close contact with a confirmed crew.
