The South Korean spread of confirmed cases of SARS-CoV-2 infection increased starting on 19 February.
On 19 February, the number of confirmed cases increased by 20. On 20 February, 70[3] new cases were confirmed, giving a total of 104 confirmed cases, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Korea (KCDC). According to Reuters, KCDC attributed the sudden jump to 70 cases linked to "Patient No. 31", who had participated in a gathering in Daegu at the Shincheonji Church of Jesus the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony.[3]
On 20 February, the streets of Daegu were empty in reaction to the Shincheonji outbreak. A resident described the reaction, stating "It's like someone dropped a bomb in the middle of the city. It looks like a zombie apocalypse."[3] The first death was reported[20] in a mental ward of Cheongdo Daenam Hospital in Cheongdo County. According to the mayor of Daegu, the number of suspected cases as of 21 February was 544 among 4,400 examined followers of the church.[21] The hospital was suspected as the source of the present outbreak after it was visited by a woman who became the second fatal case of Korea on that day. The infection spread outside via a funeral ceremony attended by members of the church.[22][23]
All South Korean military bases were on lockdown after tests confirmed that three soldiers were indeed positive for the virus.[22] Airlines cut connections and cultural schedules were being canceled due to fears of further spread.[24][25] United States Forces Korea raised the alert level from low to moderate and cut off non-essential travel to and from USFK Daegu.[26] USFK Daegu's school facilities were closed and non-essential personnel were ordered to stay at home while any visitors going there were not allowed to enter.[26] USFK announced that the widow of a retired soldier who was in Daegu was diagnosed to be positive for the virus on 24 February.[27] Camp Humphreys enacted virus detection protocols, including temperature checks and raised the alert level to high.[28] On 26 February, an American soldier based at Camp Carroll was diagnosed to be positive and was quarantined away from bases via off-base housing unit[29] with contact tracing done that showed his movements to Camp Walker.[30]
As of 22 February, among 9,336 followers of the church, 1,261 reported symptoms.[31] At the time, 169 confirmed cases involved the church and another 111 came from the Cheongdo Daenam Hospital.[32] 23 February saw another 123 cases with 75 being from Shincheonji[33] and 24 February saw 161 additional cases with 129 being from the religious group. Over 27,000 people have been tested for the virus with 19,127 negative results.[34]
On 24 February, 15 countries imposed travel restrictions to and from South Korea.[35] It was also reported that a senior health official overseeing the COVID-19 efforts in Daegu tested positive and was also a member of Shincheonji.[36][37] Within a few days, a petition to the nation's president urging for the disbandment of the church had over 750,000 signatures. Their headquarters in Gwacheon was raided by law enforcement and government officials said all 245,000 members of the religious group would be found and tested.[37]
On 28 February, over 2,000 confirmed cases were reported.[38]
