To recap, there are 977 confirmed patients by today (25th). About 80% of them are patients in Daegu and Gyeongbuk. The first patient emerged from Daegu and Gyeongbuk on February 18 and last Tuesday. Since that day, more people have been confirmed, and in a week they have increased to nearly 800. This is because there were cases where people who were gathered together or stayed together were confirmed at once.

Let's take a look at the map where it is. Sincheonji Daegu Church, and Daenam Hospital in Qingdao, Gyeongbuk. Patients involved in both are now close to 70% of all patients. In addition to these two authorities, authorities are watching the increase in the number of patients in northern Gyeongbuk, who have been to the pilgrimage to Israel, and the disabled facilities in Chilgok, Gyeongbuk.

Let's connect Daegu reporters for more details.

Yes, I am now at Daegu Kyungpook National University Hospital. There are over 100 patients in Daegu and Gyeongbuk today. As you said, the bigger worry was that there was a group infection in the community.

It is the 'milal love house', a facility for the severely disabled in Chilgok, Gyeongbuk. 23 people including disabled residents were positively judged.

Yesterday, 22 more people were added in the first day of the first checkup.

The health authorities see the mother of a 40-year-old resident who was confirmed today as the source of infection.

The resident stayed in Daegu with her mother from the 23rd to the 11th of this month, and her mother, a Shincheonji member, was confirmed on the 19th.

Yesterday at the Daegu Seo-gu Public Health Center, it was later announced that the head of infection prevention team, who had been confirmed, was a member of the Shincheonji Church.

Health authorities believe they are infected by the team leader.

Separately, one employee at the Nam-gu public health center was also confirmed to be infected.

In addition, seven additional medical personnel, including two nurses from Jung-gu Kwak Hospital and two from Keimyung University Dongsan Hospital, were positive.

Daegu City has repeatedly requested the dispatch of additional medical personnel to the central government due to the lack of medical staff.
