Concern grows over recurring cases of COVID-19 in South Korea

After following up with virus survivors, the city found 316 symptomatic people, or 6.6 percent, experiencing fever and cough, according to Daegu City.

Daejeon, Korea’s fifth-largest metropolitan city, on Thursday confirmed its first patient to have tested positive for the virus twice. Two patients who have caught the virus twice were identified in Cheongju, North Chungcheong Province, during an inspection the city carried out to follow up on its nine COVID-19 survivors, according to Cheongju City.“The ratio of patients retesting positive is very small even if were to see more cases. … It is important to examine the virus and check for infectivity in these cases,” said Kwon Joon-wook, deputy director of the KCDC, in a daily virus status briefing earlier in the week.

KCDC Director-General Jeong Eun-kyeong took a cautious approach to drawing a correlation between her bout with COVID-19 and her subsequent death.

This us really scary.
