For the latest, we have our Kim Bo-kyoung on the line for us. Bo-kyoung tell us more about the latest cases. Jiyoon, according to the Central Accident Prevention Division on Thursday,... four new cases were confirmed a few hours ago, bringing the total to 23. Out of these new cases, .... one is a Chinese woman who came to South Korea for a tour. She arrived in South Korea on January 23rd and went to a public health center on Wednesday complaining of a fever. The other three cases are Korean nationals,... who are family members or have had close contact with other coronavirus patients. All three had been quarantining themselves already. One of the new cases, a family member of a previous patient, is now quarantined in Korean Armed Forces Capital Hospital. Another patient is in quarantine at Seoul National University Hospital. She previously had contact with the 6th confirmed patient, who themselves had a meal with South Korea's 3rd confirmed patient. The other case is a Korean man, a family member of another patient,... who is now quarantined in Chosun University Hospital in Gwangju. This patient is a brother of one patient who had recently been to Thailand, and her daughter was also confirmed to have the virus on Wednesday. On a brighter note, we hear that one confirmed patient has been released from hospital. Right, the second confirmed patient in South Korea was released from hospital on Wednesday afternoon. The National Medical Center said the 55-year-old Korean man made a full recovery... 13 days after he was confirmed to have the virus. Doctors said he was tested multiple times and the results all turned up negative... and he poses no human-to-human transfer risk. Yet, the center said it's going to keep monitoring him as there could be some complications. He is the first patient in South Korea to have fully recovered and to be discharged from hospital. Other patients, including the 16th patient who has a chronic medical illness, are all in stable condition,... and the first confirmed Chinese patient who arrived from Wuhan about two weeks ago, could be discharged soon. Doctors at the Incheon medical hospital said her condition has improved a great deal. If further tests come back negative, she could also be sent home.
