[Asia Economy Reporter Moon Jiwon] It has been confirmed that there are 64 residential complexes in Daegu city where more than 10 Shincheonji Church members reside.


On the 11th, the city announced that after conducting a full survey of Shincheonji Church members' collective residences throughout Daegu, it identified 64 residential complexes to date.


According to the city, among them, Apartment A has 48 Shincheonji Church members living in 28 households out of about 500 households, with 20 confirmed cases.


In the case of Apartment B, 12 people live in 8 households out of about 50 households, with 4 confirmed cases, but since they all live as family units, it was not considered a collective residence facility.


Additionally, the city identified 7 one-room and villa residences suspected to be collective residences of Shincheonji Church members, aside from these large residential complexes.


The one-room and villa residences are distributed around Daemyeong Bokgae-ro, Daemyeong Bokgae-ro 4-gil, Daemyeong-ro 13-gil, Daemyeong-ro 19-gil, Daemyeong-ro 21-gil, and Dochon-gil in Nam-gu, Daegu.

In addition, One-room E has 5 confirmed cases in 4 out of 7 households, resulting in a total of 222 confirmed cases in this area. Among them, 204 are Shincheonji Church members.


The city plans to designate this area as a special management zone in close cooperation with Nam-gu Office and the police to thoroughly manage and prevent further spread of infection.


In particular, the policy is to prohibit self-quarantine for confirmed patients occurring in this area.



The city stated, "As of yesterday, after hospital admission and placement in living treatment centers, 44 people currently waiting for admission at home will be strongly enforced by public officials and police to enter living treatment centers within today."
