[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Heung-soon] Three additional domestic COVID-19 patients were discharged on the 12th. Among the total 28 confirmed cases, the number of discharged patients has increased to seven.

On this day, patient number 3 (54-year-old male, Korean) and patient number 17 (38-year-old male, Korean), who had been hospitalized in isolation beds at Myongji Hospital, were discharged, and patient number 8 (63-year-old female, Korean), who was treated at Wonkwang University Hospital, was also declared discharged.

COVID-19 patients are released from isolation if two consecutive real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests conducted 24 hours apart show 'negative' results after symptoms have disappeared. This is considered a complete recovery for confirmed patients. Afterwards, the attending medical staff makes the final decision on discharge, taking into account the patient's underlying conditions and aftereffects.

As of this day, the total number of discharged patients is seven. Previously, patient number 2 (56-year-old male, Korean) was the first to be discharged on the 5th, followed by patient number 1 (36-year-old female, Chinese), patient number 4 (56-year-old male, Korean), and patient number 11 (25-year-old male, Korean) in sequence.
