Daegu and the health authorities said that the survey of 4,400 members of the Daegu Church in Shinchon has been carried out to date, and that there are no contacts with 383 at 6 pm.

Of those who responded, 544 complained of suspicious symptoms.

[Eun-Kyung Chung / Head of Disease Control Division: The highest priority survey among the members of Daegu Church in Shinchon-ji will be the first to examine 540 people who are found to be deceased.

Follow-up is underway with more than 100 officials from Daegu City, and the entire survey will take two more days.

Daegu plans to first search for existing members and then look for prospective members who have been educated at the Sincheonji Education Center.

[Daegu City officials: (preliminary members) I need to get a list of these first. I need to do that now. There will be some movement in the department (related to the preliminary survey).]

The government has asked other local church members who visited Shincheonji Daegu Church to voluntarily report to the Center for Disease Control.
