A Korean Air flight attendant tested positive for the coronavirus

A Korean Air flight attendant has tested positive for the novel coronavirus, the airline announced Tuesday. Korean Air "is creating a structure to work very closely with the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention Korea (CDCK) to prevent the spreading of the virus," a representative for the airline said. 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 Incheon International so it could be disinfected. The routes and flights flown by the infected cabin-crew member were not immediately available. As of Tuesday, Korean Air's social-media pages were flooded with comments from people attempting to cancel their flights. <br/>
