A, a man in his 80s, returned from England on the 13th.

This man, who suffered from heart disease, went into cardiac arrest during self-isolation and was taken to the emergency room of the Ilsan Hospital in Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do, but died within 40 minutes.

Results from the Corona 19 test were positive and confirmed post mortem.

Members of one family were also confirmed to be infected one after another.

A family member who entered the country before the 8th is undergoing an epidemiological investigation on transit routes and contacts after self-isolation ends.

The quarantine authorities have also launched a “mutant virus test”.

A comprehensive genetic test is performed that compares and analyzes all the virus sequences.

Results are expected in the first week of next month.

The mutant virus, which is known to have a strong 70% spread, is spreading rapidly to the UK, Europe, Canada, Japan and South Africa.

The Korean government has also tightened quarantine measures, including temporarily suspending flights leaving the UK on the 23rd.

If the result of this test turns out to be a mutant virus, it is confirmed as the first case of national influx, so the quarantine authorities are well aware.
