[Breaking] Pastor of Antioch Church with 'Cluster Infection' Hospitalized 5 Days After Testing Positive

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Juhyung] The pastor of Gwangju Antioch Church, where a cluster infection occurred, was transferred to a hospital only five days after being confirmed positive for COVID-19 due to his lack of cooperation with treatment.

According to Gwangju City on the 3rd, Pastor A of the church, who was confirmed positive on the 29th of last month, was transferred to a medical center in Jeonnam on the same day.

The authorities attempted to contact him several times for the transfer of the confirmed patient, but it is known that Pastor A did not answer his mobile phone.

The authorities reported that they had difficulties transferring the pastor to the hospital after communicating with the pastor through the church elders.

The authorities consider this as an act of effectively refusing treatment and stated that if he does not cooperate with epidemiological investigations and other procedures in the future, legal measures will be taken.
