Hopefully the number of people infected doesn’t get any worse:
South Korean disease control authorities say 28 people are being monitored for suspected coronavirus infection, but there have been no additional cases since the country’s fourth patient was confirmed Monday. As the disease rapidly spreads in China, top diplomats from Seoul and Beijing discussed ways to fight the outbreak together, including the evacuation of Koreans from Wuhan, the epicenter of the crisis.

It has to be pretty terrifying for the South Korean citizens trapped in Wuhan to be in the middle of the Coronavirus epicenter:
South Korea is considering sending a chartered flight to the Chinese city of Wuhan to bring its citizens home from the epicenter of the outbreak of a deadly new coronavirus, government sources said Monday.
Officials from the foreign ministry, the interior ministry, the health ministry and the transport ministry held a meeting to discuss safety measures for South Koreans remaining in Wuhan, estimated at around 600, including mobilizing a chartered flight to bring them home, the sources said.
“We are aware of the urgency of the situation, and we are also consulting with China on the issue,” an official said. “There are many things to prepare as a package, such as strengthening the local quarantine system in case South Koreans arrive from there.”
