Coronavirus infections in South Korea have returned “in full swing” and are spreading across the country after church members attended a political demonstration, the government said Thursday, threatening one of COVID-19’s successes.
The Korean Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (KCDC) reported 288 new cases at midnight on Wednesday, marking a week of daily three-digit increases, slightly below 297 the previous day.
“This is a serious scenario that can lead to a national pandemic,” Deputy Health Minister Kim Gang-lip said at a briefing.
Without a competitive contact investigation, the country could know the types of persistent spikes and infections seen in the United States and Europe, said KCDC Deputy Director Kwon Jun-wook.
“Consider that the COVID-19 pandemic is now in full swing.”
South Korea was one of the first countries outside China to see an explosive spread of the new coronavirus, however, extensive studies and testing had reduced infections and suppressed a number of upcoming peaks.
The most recent outbreak is caused by a lot of infections among church members through a far-right preacher. They had completed an anti-government demonstration in Seoul on August 15, to commemorate the 75th anniversary of World War II, which ended in Japan, and the end of colonial rule.
At least 53 of the new infections are similar to those of the Sarang Jeil church, bringing the group’s total to 676. Hundreds of church members are being sought for testing.
Kwon suggested that all protesters be tested without delay at public fitness clinics near other vulnerable people around them.
The demonstration would probably have been a “catalyst” for the epidemic across the country, with worshippers renting buses to the capital from their homes across the country, adding the southern port of Busan, Kwon said.
If infections continue to rise at the current rate or accelerate, the government says it will impose the strictest point of social estrangement: final schools, forcing painters to paint from home and restricting meetings to 10 people.
“Please don’t make physical contact. Exchange greetings with your head,” Kwon said. “Refrain from any physical contact as hugs.”
At five a.m. (ET) on Thursday, there were 123490 cases shown and suspected of coronavirus in Canada. The provinces and territories indexed 109,822 of them as recovered or resolved. A CBC News death count based on provincial reports, regional fitness data and CBC 9.08five reports.
The federal government has spent more than $37 million to cover the cost of hosting travelers returning to Canada who do not have a quarantined position for 14 days. Eleven hotel sites have been created across the country, each with its own fitness and security staff.
“Quarantine services are used to space out others who enter Canada and are isolated or quarantined because they cannot meet the needs of the mandatory segregation order (e.g., living with a vulnerable person, not having personal transportation if they have symptoms),” Canada’s Public Health Agency spokesman Geoffroy Legault-Thivierge He said in a statement.

The firm did not provide a detailed breakdown of costs, but said they included accommodation, meals, transportation, fitness checks and security. Some quarantines have a specialized nurse 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
There are federal quarantine sites across the country and two other jointly controlled through the federal and provincial governments. Federal sites can accommodate a total of 1,500 people, Legault-Thivierge said.
Rooms can only be had as a last resort, PHAC spokeswoman Tammy Jarbeau said in a statement. “We anticipate that the maximum number of travelers will be quarantined in their own homes or in the same position they stop in Canada,” he said.
“If this is possible, travelers are guilty of making arrangements for quarantined accommodation that are within their own monetary means.”
According to Johns Hopkins University, the overall total of coronavirus cases shown is now more than 22.4 million. More than 787,900 people died, while 14.3 million recovered.
