The Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention say the quarantined North Jeolla province farm worker had a fever and cold symptoms after culling chickens near an infected farm on Tuesday.
But officials say an antibody test on the farm worker turned up negative and that doctors attributed his symptoms to fatigue.
The center says the farm where he culled the chickens was not infected but close to a farm that was. The chickens in the area where he worked also tested negative to the virus.
