Two more people were infected with the corona 19 mutant virus, which was first confirmed in the UK.
One of them was confirmed to have been on the same plane as the family in Goyang City, where the mutation was confirmed.
The quarantine authorities thought the possibility was small due to concerns about in-flight transmission.

Two more domestic patients were infected with the British mutant virus.
Of these, one of them was confirmed the day after entering the country in their 30s, who entered the country on December 13 last year.
It was confirmed that there were no additional contacts or accompanying entrants, but the problem was the plane that was boarded at the time.
It was confirmed on the same plane as the family of Goyang City, where the mutation was confirmed earlier.

Considering that the spread of the British mutant virus is up to 70% high, there is concern about spreading in-flight, but the quarantine authorities saw it as unlikely.
[이상원 / 중앙방역대책본부 역학조사분석단장 : 기내 전파의 가능성을 완전히 배제할 수는 없습니다마는 일반적으로 기내 전파는 다른 공간보다는 좀 전파가 드물게 일어나는 편입니다.]
However, it is important to strictly observe the quarantine rules as it is not a safe zone inside the plane.

The other person whose mutation has been confirmed is in his 20s who entered Korea on December 20 last year.
At the time, it was negative, but it was confirmed on the 29th of the same month as a result of suspicious symptoms during home quarantine.
As a result, the number of people infected with the UK and South African mutant virus has increased to 12.
The government stressed that they were all managed within a quarantine network and that there was no risk of spreading to the community.
