[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Heung-soon] A woman in her 20s, the seventh confirmed case of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) in Ulsan, was re-hospitalized five days after recovery due to symptom relapse.


According to Ulsan City on the 27th, the 23-year-old woman who completed COVID-19 treatment and was discharged on the 22nd was re-admitted after testing positive again following the reappearance of symptoms. The city and quarantine authorities are conducting an epidemiological investigation into the cause of reinfection. The woman, who works at a local nursing hospital, reportedly stayed at home without going to work at the nursing hospital after discharge.



The woman was counted as the seventh confirmed patient in Ulsan on the 27th of last month when she was first diagnosed. At that time, she became infected after coming down to her home in Ulsan from her parents' house in Seongju-gun, Gyeongbuk, with her younger sister. The younger sister had tested positive for COVID-19 a day earlier.
