[Asia Economy Reporter Heo Midam] COVID-19 cluster infections are rapidly increasing centered around Sarang Jeil Church in Seongbuk-gu, Seoul. In response, health authorities stated that this is a greater crisis than the Shincheonji-related cluster infections in February and March.


On the 18th, Kwon Junwook, Deputy Director of the Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasure Headquarters (CDSCH), said, "Rapid response and thorough social distancing are necessary," adding, "If diagnostic testing is delayed, we will face a 'second large-scale COVID-19 outbreak'."



Currently, health authorities are having difficulty tracing because the people who visited the church or gatherings are an unspecified large number.
