The second group of South Koreans who have been evacuated from the Chinese city of Wuhan has been released from quarantine today.
All 333 evacuees who arrived in South Korea on February 1 via a second chartered flight were released from a two-week isolation period in Asan, South Chungcheong Province.
The group and one non-evacuee who stayed there to take care of his two children, all tested negative for COVID-19 in the final checkup on Friday.
The first group of 366 nationals who entered the country via the first chartered flight on January 31, was discharged and returned home yesterday from two temporary isolation facilities in Jincheon and Asan.
The third group of 147 Korean evacuees from the Chinese city and one caretaker have been under quarantine in Icheon, Gyeonggi Province since last Wednesday.■
