505 people on 8 days → 576 people on 12 days → 713 people on 14 days. The number of corona19 confirmed cases nationwide, which exceeded 1,000 due to the third pandemic, fell to 500 per day, but the number of confirmed cases related to the BTJ World Center operated by Intercorp, a Christian religion corporation, continues to increase day by day. The Central Defense Countermeasure Headquarters (Bang Dae-bon) revealed that a total of 713 confirmed cases related to the Nation Center as of 6 pm the day before the 14th. It surpassed last year’s 8/15 urban rally (650 people) and jumped to the fourth place in group infection after △Shincheonji Church of Jesus (5213 people) △Eastern detention center (1214 people) △Sarang First Church (1173 people). Among the visitors to the center, 229 people were diagnosed, and 484 people were spreading through visitors from 9 cities and provinces nationwide. The problem is that the quarantine authorities estimate that about 3,000 people visited the center from the end of November to the end of December of last year based on visitor records and epidemiological investigations submitted by the Center of the Nations, of which 1,330 have not yet been tested. The number of confirmed cases is likely to increase. On this day, Seongnam City, Gyeonggi Province, announced that it was confirmed that two small church members who had been confirmed on the 12th visited the Sangju World Center in Gyeongbuk. By region, the proportion of confirmed cases related to the World Center was high in Daejeon. Of the 241 people who were tested positive for 25 days from the 20th of last month to this day, more than 40% of the 241 were confirmed as related to the Center of the Nations. “Daejeon analyzes the cell phones and vehicle operation recorders of all confirmed patients to investigate their behavior.” I found out the facts.” There is also an analysis that it is related to the characteristics of the nations center for the purpose of overseas mission. A pastor and missionary who asked not to disclose their names said, “January is the time to change overseas missionaries. Before dispatch (overseas dispatch), education, screening, and farewell parties were held. Every year from November to December, there are many events in general churches as well as education at the Centers of the Nations.” “Overseas missions require faith and language skills, but Daejeon is education. There are many institutions and research institutes, so there are many church members with high educational standards. The city’s quarantine authorities said, “About half of the confirmed cases related to the World Center in Daejeon gathered at a church in Dong-gu on the 17th of last month. Some of them gathered once more at the end of last month,” and said, “I know that the overseas missionaries were judged at the meeting on the 17th.” Prime Minister Jeong Sye-gyun said that at the COVID-19 Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasure Headquarters meeting presided over at the government’s Sejong Government Complex, “Intercorp, the nation’s center operating organization, filed an administrative lawsuit against Sangju City, where the facility was ordered He said, “We will strongly respond to the government’s refusal to cooperate with the government’s COVID-19 quarantine efforts due to the rejection of epidemiological investigations by the BTJ Heating Center.” By Song In-geol, staff reporter [email protected]
