Delta reduces flights to Korea as virus outbreak spreads
My wife and I flew back from LAX to MSP on Monday on Delta. The adjacent gate was a Delta flight to South Korea. boarding as we arrived at our gate. I had no contact with any of that flight's passengers, though. Air travel is a huge risk for the spread of pandemic infectious diseases, I'm afraid.

Delta reduces flights to Korea as virus outbreak spreads
Delta Air Lines is reducing flights to South Korea while Hawaiian Airlines will suspend them entirely, as airlines deal with growing concern about the spread of the new virus beyond China.
Delta said Wednesday that it will suspend flights between Seoul and Minneapolis after Saturday and running through April 30. Delta also said it will reduce flights from Seoul to Atlanta, Detroit and Seattle to five times a week. The airline said last fall that it was operating about 28 flights per week on those routes.
The Atlanta-based airline, the world’s largest by revenue, will also delay the start of new flights between Seoul’s Incheon Airport and Manila. Instead of beginning March 29, the launch has been pushed back to May 1.
