Reemergence of the virus rose as a point of concern with cases of patients catching the virus after being declared virus-free, coupled with health authorities warning the contagion is most likely to strike again.
“We speculate the duration in which the virus remains in patients’ body differs case by case, even though they have developed antibodies. Additional research is underway,” Jeong said. “We have decided to set up a task force to systematically respond . This does not mean that we will loosen virus prevention efforts domestically,” Yoon said.
