Let's take a look at two additional patients identified yesterday (19th) in the metropolitan area. A man in Seoul in his 70s is another suspected community infection who has never been to a foreign country and has never been in contact with an existing patient. In Suwon, Gyeonggi-do, a child patient was confirmed for the first time in Korea.

A 77-year-old man living in Seongdong-gu, Seoul, classified as 40 patients, is currently in quarantine and treated at the National Medical Center.

I haven't been to a foreign country recently, and I haven't been confirmed that I have contacted an existing examiner.

At this time, it is a suspected community because the path of infection is unknown.

Seongdong-gu Office said the movement of the patient has not been confirmed yet, and said it will close all 494 public facilities such as the senior welfare center in Seongdong-gu for seven days.

The first child patient came from Suwon.

An 11-year-old elementary school student, she is the nephew of No. 15 and her daughter of No. 20, who have been confirmed since arriving in Wuhan City last month.

Since the last 2 days, he has been classified as a close contact and has been self-isolated. After being tested for symptoms such as sputum, he was positively diagnosed.

The symptoms were reported to be minor.

[Eun-Kyung Chung / Director of Disease Control Division: Currently, it is a stable condition showing mild symptoms such as sputum and no other pneumonia or other findings.]

The education agency says the patient's primary school has been on vacation since the 3rd of last month, and the patient has not been in contact with other children at school.
