More than 100 South Koreans who fully recovered from coronavirus have tested positive for a second time, as the country eyes an easing of social-distancing rules, officials said.
The killer virus has “reactivated” in a total 116 patients, with 48 of them in the nation’s coronavirus epicenter of Daegu, according to Yonhap News Agency.
Jeong Eun-kyeong, director of the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said the virus may have been reactivated after remaining dormant in the patients, as opposed to them being reinfected.
The country reported last week there were 51 cases of patients testing positive after being cleared of the virus.
Jeong noted, however, there have been no cases of the relapsed patients spreading the virus to anyone else, Yonhap News reported.
