Daegu City said that many members of the church in Shincheon-ji have refused to enter treatment facilities after being confirmed. Amid growing controversy, Daegu decided not to accept donations of 10 billion won from Shinchonji, saying that it is important to cooperate with the government over money.

More than 2,200 patients with Corona19 have not yet received beds in Daegu.

Daegu plans to enter all of the mildly ill patients who have yet to get sick at the additional treatment centers secured by this weekend.

However, Shinchonji members appeared as a variable.

Daegu has announced that many of the 1,700 Shinchon residents who are required to enter hospitals or life treatment centers have said they will refuse admission.

Daegu also said that more than 1,700 Shinchon members of the church have not yet been corona-tested and refused to be tested even if they do not or cannot be reached.

Daegu decided to return the 10 billion won donated by Shincheonji, saying, "What Shinchonji does is not pay money, but cooperates with the defense."

The Social Welfare Community Fund also returned KRW 2 billion in donations to the Shinchon site.

Shincheonji said it was "not confirmed" about Daegu's announcement that there was a medical treatment center and test rejection.
