Let's take a closer look at the Shincheonji Church in Daegu, where patient 31 was attended. The health authorities have a list of about 1,000 people who have worshiped at the same time and at the same time with patient 31. The figure of 1,000 is based on a survey of church CCTVs and rosters, and there may be some errors, the authorities said. In particular, the government is watching the fact that the interior structure of the church is very close to 400 to 500 people on one floor, and they often sit down and watch worship. Depending on the results of the test, there may be additional checkers available.

The Central Defense Agency said today (28th) that 28 new witnesses have been raised at the Shincheon Branch Church in Daegu.

Since the announcement of the 31 confirmations on the 18th, 14 confirmations occurred almost yesterday, it has continued to spread throughout the day.

In total, 43 patients have been diagnosed at Daegu Shinchonji Church, including 31 patients.

In particular, the church was attended by a 61-year-old Korean woman who was confirmed 31 times and is conducting epidemiological investigations by health authorities to reveal the causal relationship.

But the 31st confirmed person is a secondary infectious person, so it is unlikely that he will be the “first propagator,” the health authorities explained.

In response, the health authorities secured a list of 1,000 members who attended worship services at the same time as the 31st Confirmation on the 9th and 16th.

Confirmation No. 31 has been watching the attendees for the last two worship sessions since there have been suspicions such as sore throat since the 7th.

[Eun-Kyung Chung / Head of Disease Control Division: We are continuing to expand similar measures in stages for any member of the entire 8,000 churches.]

In particular, health officials said that more than 390 believers are out of reach among the 1,000, and the government has asked the government to respond actively to telephone surveys, given the growing number of confirmed patients.

Experts point out that a multi-use facility can be a space for spreading high-borne viruses like Corona19.
