It is confirmed that one Shincheonji believer who visited Wuhan, China, the source of Coronavirus Infection-19 (Corona 19), was confirmed with corona 19 in late February.

Considering the timing of the Shinto epidemic, the authorities will report that it is unlikely to be the first source of infection in the new Shinchon region in Korea.

Kwon Joon-wook, deputy general manager of the Central Defense Agency, said, “We are conducting an investigation on two cases of Shinchonji Shinto shrines that have been to Wuhan, China since January.” "One person is confirmed to be confirmed near the end of February."

The quarantine authorities did not say that their investigation is underway, including their age, citizenship, and participation in the Sincheonji National Assembly.

One person who was not disclosed by the quarantine authorities on that day was a Korean resident on January 8 disclosed by the director general Eun-Kyung Jung the day before.

In his briefing the day before, Chung said, "There is no one on the list (worshipers who arrived on January 8) and he or she is not diagnosed with Corona19."

Kwon said, “One non-patient can be excluded to some extent (in epidemiological studies).” “The other one is hard to judge that it had influenced the early days of the epidemic among Shinchon believers in the time of onset.”

Early patients related to Shincheon Daegu Church usually showed symptoms around February 7-10 and 14-18.

The 31st patient (61-year-old female, Korean), the first patient in Shinchonji, participated in Shinchon Daegu Church service on February 16th and was confirmed the next day.

Kwon said, "To date, less than half of Shinchonjido immigration records received through the Ministry of Justice have been investigated." "There is a case where personal information such as a resident registration number has not been secured. This may change in the future. ”
