Authorities began testing all patients, staff after 2 psychiatric patients tested positive for coronavirus. FMTNews
People suspected of being infected with the coronavirus wait to be tested at a medical centre in Daegu.
Two patients who Yonhap news agency said were in the psychiatric ward tested positive for the virus on Wednesday, prompting authorities to begin testing all patients and staff. A 61-year-old woman member developed a fever on Feb 10, but attended at least four church services before being diagnosed. An epidemiological survey was underway to examine “the possibility of a link” between her and the hospital infections, said KCDC director Jung Eun-kyeong.
The mayor’s request is not binding, but one online poster who said they were in the city tweeted: “I can’t go out because of Shincheonji and it’s driving me crazy.
