Authorities have urged the public to exercise extra caution, advising citizens to stay home if they have a fever or respiratory symptoms
Local authorities across the country — which has more coronavirus cases than anywhere else outside China — will check if they have symptoms of fever or respiratory disease and put them in quarantine at home if so, said vice health minister Kim Gang-lip. The Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported 284 new infections Wednesday — its largest daily increase to date — taking the overall national tally to 1,261, with the death toll rising to 12.
The 23-year-old serviceman had been put in self-quarantine at his home, US Forces Korea said, adding it was conducting “contact tracing” to determine whether other soldiers had been exposed. But they say they are not considering putting the city in lockdown the way China did for Wuhan, where the virus first emerged.
