Speaking in Seoul after a week-long investigation, the WHO's Keiji Fukuda said: "Because the outbreak has been large and is complex, more cases should be anticipated."
He added: "At present the mission has found no evidence that there is ongoing transmission within the community."
All of South Korea's cases have been linked to health facilities, but the WHO urged the government to continue to maintain strong control measures, thoroughly tracing infected people's contacts and preventing suspected patients from travelling.
A number of factors may have contributed to the spread of the disease in South Korea so far, the WHO said, including:
Overcrowded emergency rooms and hospital wards
The habit of "doctor shopping" - visiting several facilities for the same complaint
Doctors unfamiliar with the disease
