The health agency has confirmed 14 more cases of H1N1 influenza A, including two Indonesians who participated in an international choir festival, bringing the total number of infections here to 446.
The other 12 patients are Korean nationals, most of whom had recently returned from trips overseas. A total of 127 patients are now being treated at state-designated hospitals. The others have been released after showing no further symptoms.
Health officials fear the disease may have spread to other people attending the choir contest. So far, 15 people ― 14 Indonesians and one Korean volunteer worker ― have fallen ill with the virus after attending the festival.
