According to the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (KCDC), the country's latest patient is the 68-year-old wife of the 29th case who tested positive for the virus Sunday. The 82-year-old man is not known to have been in contact with the country's other virus-confirmed patients or recently traveled abroad. The KCDC is struggling to find out how the couple contracted the virus amid concerns that the infection could spread rapidly among the general public. "The wife had been in self-quarantine and transferred to a hospital for monitoring and treatment," the public health agency said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
