Korean Air flight attendant who flew to LA diagnosed with coronavirus | abc7.com

LOS ANGELES (KABC) — A Korean Air flight attendant was diagnosed with coronavirus shortly after working on a flight to Los Angeles, South Korean media is reporting.

The flight attendant worked on a flight from Incheon to Los Angeles and may have spent time in Los Angeles before boarding a return flight. The same person also had recently worked on an Incheon-Tel Aviv route.

Los Angeles County health officials said they are aware of the media reports and are awaiting confirmation from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control.

The county health department says there have been no new cases of coronavirus reported in Los Angeles County. If the Korean Air case is confirmed and they can trace where the person visited locally, they will make that information public.
