The government reported that the spread of the new coronavirus infection (Corona 19) community in Daegu was over a certain level, and decided to expand the corona 19 diagnostic test for general Daegu citizens.

So far, prosecutors were first conducted on the members of the Shinchon Earth Globe Church, where the Corona 19 "Super Propagation" incident occurred.

Kim Kang-rip, General Coordinator for Central Disaster and Safety, Headquarters, said, “The results of the diagnostic test on Daegu citizens show that the infection of Corona 19 is over a certain level. I evaluate that. "

He said, "In view of the completion of the inspection of the deceased box among Shincheonji believers and the low incidence of confirmed patients by general citizens, it is necessary to expand the inspection of Daegu citizens more than the Shincheonji believers to minimize the damage." He said.

"The authorities will continue to monitor the Sincheonji Shinto, which is self-contained, and carry out diagnostic tests centered on bequest boxes and high-risk groups, while expanding the diagnostic tests for general Daegu citizens to find patients early and focus on high-risk patients. I thought it was more important. "

"We are consulting with Daegu City to make the change of inspection priority promptly."

According to Jungsu Bon and Daegu City, more than 9,000 Shinto Ji-dae Church members are self-contained. Among them, 1,300 people, classified as bequest boxes, have undergone a diagnostic test.

More than 2,300 people have been confirmed by the day before.

Other Daegu citizens have been screened for 11,000 people and 1,300 confirmed.

The Health Authority estimates that a large number of Daegu citizens classified as sponsors are family members or acquaintances of Shincheonji Shinto.

This is the result of a significant level of community infection in Corona 19 in Daegu, the health authorities see.
