In South Korea, Daegu Mayor Kwon Young-jin told residents to stay indoors after 90 people who worshipped at one church showed symptoms and dozens of new cases were confirmed.
The church had been attended by a 61-year-old woman who tested positive, known as “Patient 31.” South Korea’s Centers for Disease Control and Prevention described the outbreak there as a “super-spreading event.”
South Korea now has 104 confirmed cases of the flu-like virus, and reported its first death
That number of confirmed cases for South Korea just jump again to 156. I have a bad feeling it will jump another 50 in a little bit.
