SEOUL (REUTERS, AFP) - South Korea reported 52 new confirmed cases of the coronavirus, taking the national tally to 156, the Yonhap news agency said on Friday (Feb 21), citing health authorities.
A total of 43 were in Daegu, the southern city at the centre of the country’s outbreak, and its neighbouring provinces, the Korean Centres for Disease Control and Prevention said in a statement.
The tally comes as the country reported its first death from the coronavirus on Thursday, amid growing fears of widespread infection.
The health authorities said Thursday that a 63-year-old Korean man who had been bedridden for more than 20 years at a hospital in the south-eastern city of Cheongdo had a positive test result for the virus a day after he died of pneumonia-like symptoms. Which make me wonder. If he bedridden in Cheongdo, how covid19 pop in by to visit him there?
