The purpose of this report was to present the epidemiologic characteristics of Kazakhstan COVID-19 inflow cases in Korea. The Incheon Airport National Quarantine Station saw an increase in the number of imported cases from Kazakhstan and adjusted the COVID-19 diagnostic test standards for passengers from Kazakhstan. The standards for fever changed from 37.5℃ to 37.3℃. As a result, between July 1st and July 10th, 2020, out of 419 passengers from Kazakhstan, 119 passengers were tested with COVID-19 at the quarantine stage, and 28 passengers were confirmed.
The results included 90 cases that were not tested at the quarantine level with conventional COVID-19 test criteria. Using conventional criteria, only 49 cases were classified as Patients Under Investigation (PUI). By adjusting the criteria for COVID-19, the Incheon Airport National Quarantine Station confirmed 15 out of 28 (53.8%) cases at the quarantine stage.
In addition, as a result of analyzing the tympanic temperature at the time of arrival for 61 confirmed cases, including 33 cases that were confirmed after passing through the quarantine stage, 7 cases (11.5%) had body temperatures above 37.5℃ and 17 cases had body temperatures above 37.3℃ (27.8%). The number of confirmed cases was 29 (47.5%) if we included asymptomatic companions of PUIs or persons with body temperatures above 37.3℃.
