90% of the new cases have been reported in Daegu, the city which is at the crux of the virus outbreak in South Korea, and the neighbouring North Gyeongsang province.

Number Of Cases Expected To Increase

South Korea’s total number of confirmed cases is expected to increase following tests on over 210,000 members of the Shincheonji Church of Jesus.

This came after a 61-year-old female member became sick with a fever on 10 February but attended four church services in Daegu before she was diagnosed, which has a total population of 2.5 million.

They are still awaiting the arrival of more test results on Shincheonji members and the Daegu mayor Kwon Yong-Jin warns that the number of confirmed cases will increase.
