South Korean health authorities on Friday reported that a total of 91 patients who were said to have been cleared of the CCP virus again tested positive for the virus.

Jeong Eun-kyeong, the head of the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (KCDC), said that the virus might have been reactivated rather than the patients being infected again, according to the Yonhap News Agency. Earlier this week, Jeong said that 51 recovered COVID-19 patients tested positive after leaving quarantine.
