SEOUL: South Korea reported on Monday (April 13) that at least 116 people initially cleared of the Covid-19 (coronavirus) had tested positive again, although officials suggested they would soon look at easing strict recommendations aimed at preventing new outbreaks.

South Korea reported only 25 new cases overall on Monday, but the rise in "reactivated" patients has raised concerns as the country seeks to stamp out infections.
