South Korea reported three more cases of the novel coronavirus Sunday, bringing the total here to 15, amid concerns over person-to-person transmission.
The Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (KCDC) said the 13th case involved a man, 28, who was one of 368 Koreans evacuated from the Chinese city of Wuhan on Friday.
The country's 14th case is a Chinese woman, 40, who is a family member of the Chinese man diagnosed with the virus here on Saturday.
The 15th case is a South Korean, 43, man who arrived home from China on Jan. 20 and was under observation.
The KCDC said it is tracing the movements of all new patients to determine where they were and whom they met, with information to be made public as soon as possible. (Yonhap)
