She showed no symptoms until today when she tested positive."

Additionally, a 58-year-old man residing in Gaepo-dong, Gangnam-gu, had been working at a factory in Bangladesh since February and arrived at Incheon Airport on the 27th. He was on the same flight as an inbound traveler who was immediately hospitalized at the National Medical Center after testing positive at the airport due to fever symptoms. Although he showed no particular symptoms, he underwent testing at the Gangnam-gu Public Health Center on the 28th and received a positive diagnosis that morning.

Both individuals are residents of Gangnam-gu, and it was confirmed that they had no movements within the district other than at their homes.
