Four poultry farmers in Gyeonggi province were also confirmed to have been confirmed as AI (avian influenza) infection.

The AI Disaster Safety Headquarters said on April 21, "AI infections have been confirmed at four farms in Pyeongtaek, Icheon, Hwaseong, and Anseong," and "plans to dispose of 787,000 poultry including these farms." said.

The headquarters added, "Four farms that have confirmed AI additions are farmers who have been investigated because of suspected infections in the province."

On the day of confirmation, the number of confirmed AI farms in the province has increased to 65 in 11 cities.

If the disposal is completed, the total number of disposable digits in the province will exceed 13 million.

By the day before, 112 farmhouse chickens and 952,000 ducks were buried in the province. This represents 51 percent of the 187,700 poultry poultry in the country.

The Countermeasures Headquarters is currently investigating 20 infected farmers for AI infections, all of which are likely to be infected.

A bing translation of the above quote is "with this headquarters is aimed a tthe current 20 dog breeding farms to investigate whether infected with AI, and all are likely to infect the large farmhouse rebels, he added."

So I think this sentence is not a reference to the possible infection of farmers, but is a reference to 20 farms. They expect 20 more farms to be AI positive.

However, with the huge number of poultry infected in South Korea it will be a miracle if this outbreaks ends without any human cases.
