Authorities said that cases were also reported in the capital Seoul, the central south-west province of Chungcheong and on Jeju Island. Over 630 of the infected were on the Diamond Princess cruise ship, which was quarantined with its 3,700 passengers and crew in a Japanese port for two weeks as a precaution.
A woman released from the ship was confirmed to have the disease, the first case since a total of 969 passengers disembarked from Wednesday to Friday after testing negative, the government said late on Saturday. In China nearly all of the new cases and deaths were reported in central Hubei province, where the virus first broke out in the city of Wuhan in late December.
