The two cases were a 20-year-old restaurant waitress and a 35-year-old businessman, the official Xinhua News Agency said in a brief dispatch, citing the Health Ministry.

The two people were identified as suspected cases on January 8 and January 13, Xinhua said.

The woman was discharged from the hospital on Saturday and all the people who had contact with her have been removed from medical observation without showing any symptoms, Xinhua said. The businessman was in stable condition, it said.

No other details were provided.

The season's first confirmed case, a 32-year-old television producer, was released from the hospital last week.
