South Korea has reported three new confirmed cases of the coronavirus on Sunday.
That means the country now has fifteen patients in total.
According to the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,... the 13th case is a 28-year-old man who was one of the hundreds of people flown back Friday from the Chinese city of Wuhan.
The 14th case is a 40-year-old Chinese woman.
She is related to a 49-year-old Chinese man diagnosed with the coronavirus on Saturday.
The 15th case is a 43-year-old Korean man who came back from Wuhan on January 20th.
The first twelve confirmed patients have been quarantined and are getting treatment at state-designated hospitals.
Most of them are in a stable condition.
The Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is analyzing the movements of the three new patients to determine where they have been and with whom they've come into contact.
Meanwhile,... Korea's Shilla Duty Free chain and movie theater chain CGV have each decided to temporarily close one of their locations - a duty-free store at the Hotel Shilla in central Seoul and the CGV at Bucheon Station.
That's because the nation's 12th coronavirus case, a 49-year-old Chinese man visited both places twice in January.
As a tour guide, he came into contact with a Japanese person infected with the virus in Japan.
In another development,... South Korea has put close to 700 of its nationals in temporary isolation after they were brought back from Wuhan.
They're being housed in facilities in the cities of Asan and Jincheon, where they will stay for at least 14 days without having visitors or leaving the place.
During that time, medical staff are closely monitoring them and doing check-ups twice a day.
The Korean government is working to figure out how it's going to track their movements after they are released.
