The number of confirmed cases of novel coronavirus in South Korea has risen to 11, according to a statement by Korean Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (KCDC). South Korea had previously confirmed seven coronavirus patients.
“As of 2pm on Jan 31st, 2020, a total of 11 confirmed patients were reported, and the current status including detailed information on others who came in contact will be separately announced along with the results of the investigation,” KCDC said.
Two of the four newly confirmed cases are family members of the sixth patient, who himself was the first reported case of human-to-human transmission in South Korea, according to the statement. “An in-depth investigation was conducted on 8 people who had contact with the 6th patient, and from the two members of his family, positive results were found,” the statement added.
In a separate briefing, the director of KCDC, Jung Eun-kyeong, announced that the eighth coronavirus patient is a 62-year-old woman who entered South Korea from Wuhan on a flight January 23. The patient had been quarantined in a treatment facility and four immediate response teams are on the field investigating the confirmed patients’ past movement, Jung said.
