It was yesterday (19th) evening that the first confirmed person came out at the'fruits' church in Nonhyeon-dong, Namdong-gu, Incheon.

A 24-year-old woman, a member of this church, coughed and had a fever and was tested, and it was confirmed.

The quarantine authorities immediately began to figure out the movement and confirmed that Mr. A attended a church service on the 16th.

On this day, 76 people attended the service, and after the service, 17 people including Mr. A had a separate group.

Thirteen of these were confirmed today.
