She had close contact with a 28-year-old Chinese-American man surnamed Li, who developed a sore throat on May 24 after he flew from New York to Guangzhou, via Incheon City in the Republic of Korea.
On Monday and Tuesday, he and his girlfriend spent two days with studio workers, including the beautician, taking bridal photos.
