A Korean Air flight attendant has tested positive for coronavirus, and worked on flights between Seoul and Los Angeles, media reported on Wednesday afternoon.
The Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (KCDC) said Wednesday the crewmember worked on a Korean Air KE958 flight from Israel to Incheon, February 15-16.
The passengers included a South Korea tour group from which 31 coronavirus cases originated, medical reports say.
Other KA routes and flights the employee with coronavirus traveled have not yet been released.

Korean Air has referred all inquiries about the employee’s itinerary to KCDC, as the authority in charge, adding “We will continue to work closely with the relevant authorities to ensure the safety of our passengers and employees.”
