New Straits Times
By AFP - February 21, 2020 @ 9:44am
SEOUL: South Korea confirmed 52 more cases of Covid-19 coronavirus on Friday, taking its overall figure to 156 and making it the worst-infected country outside China.
Altogether, 39 of the new cases were linked to the Shincheonji Church of Jesus in the southern city of Daegu, the Korean Centres for Disease Control and Prevention said.
More than 80 members of Shincheonji have now been infected, starting with a 61-year-old woman who developed a fever on February 10 but attended at least four church services before being diagnosed.
The mayor of Daegu – South Korea’s fourth-biggest city, with a population of over 2.5 million – has advised residents to stay indoors, and commanders at a major US base in the area restricted access.
