[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] Ten church members in Jido-eup, Sinan-gun, Jeollanam-do, tested positive for COVID-19, raising alarms.

On the 16th at 7:10 a.m., Sinan-gun announced via disaster text message that seven confirmed cases in Sinan-gun and three in Muan-gun were related to Church A in Jido-eup.
