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.
