It was confirmed that there were 17 confirmed cases from the Daejeon Woori Full Gospel Church in Birae-dong, Daedeok-gu, recorded as the first case of group infection within a church in Daejeon, including the Incheon branch.
Furthermore, it was revealed that the pastor’s wife concealed the fact of the prayer meeting held at the Incheon branch after church members concealed their attendance at the worship in person from the quarantine authorities. As a result, it appears that group infections in churches in both Daejeon and Incheon increased.
Summing up the presentations from Daejeon City and Incheon City on Day 1, Daejeon Woori Full Gospel Church is a small and medium-sized church located in Birae-dong, Daedeok-gu, Daejeon, with about 25 members. This church held an in-person service on the 16th and 23rd of last month.
Also, our church in Gyeyang-gu, Incheon is a branch of our church in Daejeon, and it is a prayer meeting rather than a church. Prayer meetings were held at this church on the 15th and 16th of last month, with the attendance of 6 and 8 members, respectively. A (59), the wife of the Daejeon Woori church pastor, all attended this prayer meeting, and the pastor also attended the prayer meeting on the 16th.
The first to be confirmed was a confirmed person in Daejeon 194 (Songchon-dong 60s). He, who was confirmed on the 21st of last month, did not tell the quarantine authorities that he attended the Full Gospel Church service in Daejeon on the 16th. On the 22nd her husband (# 206) and two acquaintances (# 210, # 211) and a client (# 218) who had been contacted at the beauty salon. Of these, the number 211 is a member of the Daejeon Full Gospel Church.
On the 25th, Mr. A (Incheon # 579, Gyeyang-gu # 88), the wife of the pastor of this church, was confirmed in Incheon. This confirmed person did not claim to have attended the prayer meeting during the initial epidemiological investigation. The city of Incheon said it even concealed the fact of the marriage, saying that he lives alone. Because of this, her husband was not informed of the city as a close contact.
The confirmed person had symptoms of fever since the 20th of last month, but did not have an exam while taking antipyretics. Later, when symptoms of fever and cough appeared, she visited a public health center in Gyeyang-gu to be examined and confirmed.
Incheon City quarantine authorities learned that they attended a prayer meeting at the end of the verification process of the confirmed person’s location information (GPS). This is the 31st. Subsequently, the quarantine authorities carried out tests on the participants of the prayer meeting held on the 15th and 16th, as well as their relatives and contacts, and on the 1st there were four confirmed cases, including the daughter of the Mr. A (15). As a result, there were 5 confirmed cases in our church in Incheon.

Meanwhile, at Daejeon Woori Church, the pastor of this church was confirmed on the 31st. It has been six days since my wife was confirmed. And the next day, the first, nine members of this church were confirmed as a group.
Even though the confirmed person in Daejeon 194 went into hiding to attend church services, the pastor’s wife attended the prayer meeting and concealed the fact that he was pastor of Daejeon Woori Church, and the pastor knew that his wife and members were confirmed. However, while the “face-to-face worship” was carried out without taking any action, the members of Daejeon and Incheon were collectively infected.
In both churches, 17 confirmed cases were infected, and when her husband and acquaintances infected with No. 194 joined, a total of 20 confirmed cases.
That day, an Incheon city official said: “A concealed the traffic line and made a false statement, causing a disruption in the epidemiological investigation process,” and said he would consider whether to prosecute A.
Furthermore, a representative from Daejeon City also said: “The convicted person 194 is in hiding, and the pastor of this church is going to take an accusation for conducting a face-to-face service without any action even though he knows that his wife is confirmed “. I will do it.”
