SEOUL (The Straits Times/ANN): South Korea has confirmed two more cases of the coronavirus, bringing the total to 18, with one of the latest cases involving a patient who had returned from Singapore.

The Korea Centres for Disease Control and Prevention on Wednesday said a 38-year-old South Korean man who had visited Singapore for work and had come into contact with an infected Malaysian tested positive for the virus, Yonhap reported.

He was informed that one of the people he had interacted with in Singapore was diagnosed with the virus, so he visited a clinic in South Korea on Tuesday and was confirmed to have contracted the illness. The KCDC said it is tracing the steps of all the country's confirmed cases to determine where they went and the people they may have met, amid growing concerns over further human transmission.
