View original image[Asia Economy Reporter Hana Na] Forty-two trainees of a door-to-door sales company, who had been secretly staying together at an abandoned school in Ganghwa-gun, Incheon, tested positive for COVID-19, and claims have been raised that this group is a religious organization.
On the 27th, Ganghwa-gun, Incheon, announced on the 28th that 42 people who had been living together at an abandoned branch school (selected branch school) in Gilsang-myeon, Ganghwa-gun, tested positive for COVID-19, and they are investigating their activities as they are believed to be related to a specific religion.
It was revealed that they falsely reported the activity name "Restoring History" and the organization name "Haeoreum International Education and Culture Center" to the Incheon Metropolitan Office of Education to rent the abandoned school and live together with meals.
The abandoned school used as a dormitory has been illegally occupied since 2012, and Ganghwa-gun has launched an investigation, judging that the door-to-door sales company may also be related to a specific religion.
Among the 42 people, 36 lived together at the abandoned school in Gilsang-myeon, and the remaining 6 stayed at a nearby commercial building.
Previously, five confirmed COVID-19 patients stayed inside the abandoned school with the doors locked, but they have now been transferred to medical institutions for treatment.
