The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says it has confirmed one additional sponsor as of 7 pm today.

Due to the additional confirmations, the total number of confirmations in Korea has increased to 19.

Confirmation 19 is a 36-year-old Korean male who reportedly returned to Singapore from the 18th to 23rd days of the same conference with Patient 16.

I was informed of the confirmation of the Malaysian patient who attended the conference, and I contacted the local public health center.

Currently, Confirmation No. 19 has been quarantined at Seoul Medical Center and an epidemiological investigation is in progress.
