Korean Air Flight Attendant Tests Positive for the Coronavirus
|I take that this news is only going to further pummel air travel on Korean Air:
A Korean Air flight attendant has tested positive for the novel coronavirus, the South Korean airline announced on Tuesday.
Korean Air “is creating a structure to work very closely with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Korea (CDCK) to prevent the spreading of the virus,” a representative for the airline told Business Insider.
The airline is disinfecting aircraft, asking flight attendants with symptoms to self-quarantine, and installing thermal cameras at Korean Air’s operations locations.
The confirmed case also prompted Korean Air to temporarily shutter its office near the Incheon International Airport, the main airport in the South Korean capital, Seoul, so it could be disinfected.
