Contact outside the church of Grace River 'Secondary infection'… Local radio wave concerns

<Anchor>

Then, let's talk more by connecting reporters on the field.

Reporter Yeon-nam Jeon, it was a week before the first confirmer came out of the church.

<Reporter>

Yes, it is.

The Grace River Church has been closed on the 9th with the first confirmers.

The problem is that there were 135 church members who attended the worship service on the 1st and 8th, and only 7 people who were in close contact with the first confirmer were notified of self-isolation on the 9th.

The remaining members are 128, of which there are about 40 confirmed people, who have been active outside without restrictions.

The health authorities said the first confirmed person was wearing a mask for an hour and a half of the service, so he was unable to self-contain all members who attended the service on the same day as close contact.

Preventing the spread out of the church is of the utmost importance at this point, and there have been cases of infection among non-church people.

<Reporter>

Yes, a woman in her 70s who wasn't attending the church was confirmed last morning after her husband's husband was infected last weekend.

In addition to this woman, the news that two church members and two contacts were additionally confirmed was confirmed, and the number of confirmed church members increased to 49.

The woman is believed to have been infected by contact with a member of the Grace River who had been active in environmental protection at the Senior Welfare Center in Baekhyeon-dong, Seongnam.

As a result, the administrative welfare center was closed this morning.

The bigger problem is that worshiping churches reach thousands of places in Gyeonggi-do.

When I inspected the site yesterday on Gyeonggi-do Sunday, more than 2,600 small and medium-sized churches still showed on-site worship.
