South Korean officials on Thursday said that 141 people have re-tested positive for COVID-19, raising the number from earlier this week.

South Korea’s Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (KCDC) said it’s not clear what caused the people to test positive again for the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) virus, a type of coronavirus that causes COVID-19.
