According to Jeonnam Province on the 5th, the whereabouts of 1,718 believers and trainees whose locations were previously unknown have been confirmed.

The province issued administrative orders on the 25th and 29th of last month to Shincheonji, including bans on gatherings and forced closure of facilities, mandatory reporting of believers omitted from the submitted lists or those who could not be contacted despite being listed, and diagnostic testing for Shincheonji believers, Daegu rally attendees, and symptomatic individuals with cough or fever.

As a result of the investigation, 240 symptomatic individuals underwent diagnostic testing, all of whom tested negative.

Among 815 high-risk occupational groups, self-quarantine is being recommended as a preventive measure against the spread of COVID-19. Additionally, experts from the local health centers have been conducting symptom checks at least twice daily and providing continuous special management.

Jung Chan-gyun, Director of the Jeonnam Provincial Autonomous Administration Bureau, stated, “Although the investigation period is still ongoing, we have mobilized all administrative resources of Jeonnam Province and its cities and counties to prevent the spread of COVID-19 infection. We will continue to provide special management for high-risk occupational groups and continuously monitor all believers.”

Meanwhile, since the 27th of last month, Jeonnam Province has deployed about 600 public officials to conduct one to two telephone surveys daily, focusing on monitoring believers for contact with confirmed cases and symptoms such as fever and respiratory issues.
