LIVE – Coronavirus: more than one affected patient in France, announces Olivier Véran

WHAT HAPPENED IN SOUTH KOREA?

While the number of cases has doubled in 24 hours in South Korea, they are mainly linked to a single woman who did not know that she had contracted the virus. Member of a Christian sect, she is suspected of having infected forty people alone. Participating in religious services of the “Shincheonji Church of Jesus”, the 61-year-old woman was unaware of having contracted viral pneumonia.

When she had a fever on February 10, she twice refused to undergo a screening test, on the pretext that she had not recently gone abroad. Result: she attended at least four religious services before being diagnosed with the virus. In all, it could have touched 1,001 followers of this sect, according to the municipality of Daegu, the city in which she lived.

The Shincheonji Church, whose founder has put on the clothes of Jesus Christ and says that he will take 144,000 people to heaven on the Day of Judgment, has closed all of its structures in the country. In a statement, she said she was sorry that one of its members “has contaminated many members of our church, causing concern within the local community”.
