MATERIALS AND METHODS: Using publicly available data for confirmed COVID-19 cases from the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention from January 20, 2020, to April 30, 2020, we undertook descriptive analyses of cases stratified by sex, age group, place of exposure, date of confirmation, and province. CONCLUSIONS: Our study adds to the very limited evidence base on potential predictors of recovery among confirmed COVID-19 cases. According to the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (KCDC), there have been 10,804 confirmed cases and 254 deaths due to COVID-19 as of May 05, 2020 [4] . We present the epidemiology of COVID-19 in the Republic of Korea using data from the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and identify the predictors of recovery from the disease. ./cache/cord-297477-o7kydesb.txt ./txt/cord-297477-o7kydesb.txt
