South Korea has stepped up its “maximum measures” to contain the coronavirus with plans to test around 200,000 members of a secretive church believed to be at the centre of the country’s outbreak. Along with an emergency budget and a crackdown on the hoarding of face masks, the government in Seoul will test members of the Shincheonji Church of Jesus after its founder agreed to provide authorities with the names of all its members in the country. It came as financial markets saw more heavy losses across Asia Pacific on Tuesday over fears the coronavirus was spreading more widely from China and will cause disruption in countries such as South Korea, the world’s 12th biggest economy. 韩国累计确诊893例、死亡8人,将检测逾20万“新天地”信众 韩国中央防疫对策本部2月25日通报,截至当天上午9时,韩国较昨日新增60例新冠病毒感染病例,累计确诊893例,死亡增至8例,治愈22例。在新增的60例中,有49例来自大邱和庆北地区。 在8名死亡病例中,除了与新天地教会有关的第38例患者外,其余7人中有6人与清道大南医院有关,1人是在庆尚北道庆州的自家中被发现身亡的41岁男性。 截至目前,除确诊患者外,韩国接受新冠病毒检测的人数累计35823人,其中22550人的检测结果呈阴性,其余13273人的结果还未出炉。 在截至24日上午9点确诊的763例病例中,分别有456例与113例与新天地大邱教会及清道郡大南医院有关,占比74.6%。在截至24日下午4点新增的70例中,有53例来自大邱和庆北地区。 据韩联社消息,韩国中央灾难安全对策本部25日说,经过与新天地教会的协商,政府将对新天地所有信徒进行新冠病毒检测,并随时公开检测结果。对策本部表示,新天地信徒总计21.5万人,这可能不是最终数据,准信徒不会列入信徒名单。
