...Some 43 members of a church in Daegu have been infected, according to The New York Times, their cases likely linked to a previously confirmed virus patient, a woman in her early 60s who attended services at the same church.
...The church, which claims about 200,000 followers in South Korea, said it has closed all of its 74 sanctuaries around the nation and told followers to instead watch its worship services on YouTube.
...It said in a statement that health officials were disinfecting its church in Daegu and were tracing the woman's contacts.
