South Korea reported on Monday its first confirmed case of a new coronavirus that has broken out in China, Reuters reports, citing South Korea’s Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (KCDC).
The patient is a 35-year-old Chinese woman and resident of Wuhan, China who flew from Wuhan to Incheon international airport on Sunday, KCDC was quoted as saying in a statement.
She was isolated on entering South Korea with symptoms including high fever.
“The confirmed patient was identified in the quarantine phase and there is no community exposure. Those that have come in contact, including passengers and aircraft crew, are currently being investigated,” KCDC said. It did not give details of the woman’s flight.
Ironically HK may be safer this time round since people aren't visiting from Mainland China..
Can't they just block flights coming from cities with the virus like Wuhan?
