The trend towards church-related confirmation hasn’t abated. How’s the mood now?

It is Sunday worship is held, but as you can see, the entrance to the church is tightly closed.

As the group infection began in the church increased by double digits per day, access to the building was restricted.

This morning, an epidemiological investigator from the Seoul Metropolitan Government and the Gangseo-gu Office enters the church and conducts an epidemiological investigation to determine the route of infection.

The city of Seoul said that at 0 o’clock today, 51 additional people were infected with this church, and the cumulative number of confirmed patients was 140.

There has not yet been a detailed classification of infections as church members, pastors, and families.

In Gangseo-gu alone, about 90 people, including church members and their families, were infected as of yesterday.

This church building is 4 stories below ground and 7 stories above ground, and it is estimated that there are more than tens of thousands of members.

About 700 people are said to have been tested so far.

This rapid spread has been a week since the first confirmed cases were published on the 6th.

A Seoul city official explained that a church member who attended the morning service was screened for symptoms such as headaches, and it was confirmed late that day.

On day 6, when the first confirmed person was released, face-to-face worship was possible before step 2.5 of social distancing was applied.

Epidemiological investigators are now checking to see if there have been any violations of quarantine regulations, such as not wearing a mask or holding a small group via CCTV in the church.

First, we are focusing on the Sunday worship service on the 6th and a week before, on the 29th of last month.

However, since there are so many believers and worship services are held several times a day, it appears that the epidemiological investigation will take some time.

However, after last week’s service, it was confirmed that some members of the congregation ate on a small scale at an open-air restaurant.

As of today, the number of new confirmed cases has exceeded 1,000, and you can also tell us about the situation of collective infection in the metropolitan area.

This is the highest number of all time.

First, as a result of quarantine authorities, as of 0:00 yesterday, there were 230 confirmed cumulative cases related to Pagoda Town, a restaurant in Jongno-gu, Seoul.

Serial infections are occurring due to family members and coworkers, and the number is expected to rise in national statistics after a while, as eight more people were confirmed in Seoul yesterday.

Seoul City announced that at 0 o’clock today, there were 218 confirmed cumulative cases related to aerobics in Gangseo-gu.

As aerobic-related infections have spread to nearby rehabilitation nursing hospitals, the number of confirmed cases related to this hospital has so far risen to 54.

Infection taxes related to hospitals and nursing homes are also staggering.

The number of confirmed cases related to Wisdom Hospital in Dongdaemun-gu, Seoul, increased by 13 a day yesterday, to 58 in total.

Hyoplus Nursing Hospital, Bucheon-si, Gyeonggi Province, had 6 employees and 60 hospitalized patients.
