Patient 2, who had initial sore throat symptoms and pneumonia, had been on antiviral drugs since day 3 of hospitalization. Chest x-rays showed improvement in pneumonia and new coronaviruses have not been detected since the 28th of last month, the fifth day of hospitalization.

From the 7th day of hospitalization, all symptoms such as cough disappeared, which led to the decision to cure and discharge.

The 35-year-old Chinese woman who was confirmed for the first time in Korea also had all symptoms of fever disappeared since then.
