    Appears to be this case:

    93) #1271 - Female, 64, roommate of case #1174 at Sacred Heart Hospital, Hallym University Dongtan. South Korea



    This case was not identified as a health care worker by the Korea Ministry of Health. I am not sure if the translation is literally "works in" meaning employee, or not. Hopefully the WHO can clear this up in a DON.


    The raw MoH data is:

    93
    (Female, 64 years)
    6.8
    .5.28 ~ 29 # 15 and Sacred Heart Hospital, Hallym University Dongtan stay in the same room (Seoul Bo hwanyeon)
