PUBLIC HEALTH STATEMENT 
REGARDING FLIGHT 

ATTENDANT & CORONA 
VIRUS

LOS ANGELES – The Los Angeles County Department 
of Public Health (Public Health) received confir-
mation from the Centers for Disease Control and 
Prevention (CDC) that a South Korean flight at-tendant, 
who was diagnosed with novel coronavirus 2019 
(COVID-19) in South Korea and had re-cently visited 
LA County, was not symptomatic during their time in 
LA County and did not pose any risk to others while 
in LA County. The CDC confirmed the flight attendant 
did not develop symptoms until after departing 
LA County.



At this time, there are no new cases of COVID-19 in 
LA County, and there is currently no evidence of person-
to-person spread of the virus within LA County. 
Therefore, the immediate health risk to the general 
public of exposure to this virus in Los Angeles County 
is still considered low.



Public Health is carefully assessing the situation as it 
evolves. Public Health also continues to proac-tively 
take steps to prevent the spread of this novel coronavirus 
and to work with healthcare, schools, colleges, 
and universities, the business community, and State 
and Federal partners, among others, to prepare for the 
possibility of additional cases in the future. 



"It is likely we will eventually see more cases of the 
novel coronavirus, in the midst of continuing to see 
other respiratory illnesses, like the flu. Respiratory 
infections predominantly spread when people are sick 
with fever and cough are in contact with others,” said 
Barbara Ferrer, PhD, MPH, MEd, Direc-tor of Los 
Angeles County Public Health. “Everyone should stay 
at home when they're sick. This re-quires our employers 
and schools to be flexible when staff and students 
are sick and need to stay home."



Residents can continue to enjoy all their usual activities 
and feel comfortable eating and shopping at restaurants 
and stores across LA County, and are encouraged 
to the follow the actions below.



Public Health continues to recommend that the public 
do the following to protect themselves and to prevent 
the spread of all respiratory illnesses:



• Stay home when you are sick.

• Wash your hands often with soap and water
for at least 20 seconds, especially after going to the 
bathroom; before eating; and after blowing your nose, 
coughing, or sneezing.

• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth
with unwashed hands.

• Limit close contact, like kissing and sharing
cups or utensils, with people who are sick.

• Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces 
using a regular household cleaning spray or wipe.

• Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then
throw the tissue in the trash. If you do not have a tissue, 
use your sleeve (not your hands).

• Facemasks are most effective when used appropriately 
by health care workers and people who are 
sick.

• Get a flu immunization if you have not done so
this season.



Public Health, along with partners in healthcare, state 
and federal agencies, have systems in place to support 
appropriate screening and testing for those with an 
exposure to COVID-19, and healthcare providers are 
able to provide excellent care to manage respiratory 
illnesses.
