tested positive for coronavirus.
The Ministry of Health said both
patients were recovering. Li Zichao on January 28 was given the all-clear.
The country is
quarantining a total of 32 suspected infected cases, awaiting
final test results, while 65 cases have their results returned negative. Forty-three people are being quarantined
despite having normal health as they have had contacts with suspected nCoV-infected
patients./.
