The man had a heart disease, and after entering Korea on the 13th, he was self-quarantined, but a cardiac arrest occurred at 10:45 am on the 26th, and he was transferred to the emergency room of Ilsan Hospital and died 40 minutes later. A corona 19 sample was collected and tested, and it turned out positive.
General Manager Yoon said, “It takes time to analyze the genome in relation to the genetic variant.” “The disease administration checks for the variant through the Genome Battlefield Analysis (WGS) as much as possible within this week, and a confirmed case occurred in the family. We will analyze the full-length genome in the same way and announce the results.”
The presence of a mutant virus infection is confirmed through full-length genome analysis, a method of comparing and analyzing all nucleotide sequences.
According to the script, 15 people have entered the country in the last two months. All those entering the UK are forcibly quarantined for 14 days. In addition, flights departing from the UK were temporarily suspended from the 23rd to the 31st.
