SEOUL - South Korea reported 284 new coronavirus cases on Wednesday, including a U.S. soldier, as health authorities prepared to test more than 200,000 members of a church hit hardest by the outbreak.
The U.S. military reported its first case of the coronavirus on Wednesday, in a 23-year-old soldier based in Camp Carroll, about 20 km from Daegu. The camp is also near a disability centre that has had its own outbreak of the virus. On Monday, the widow of a former U.S. soldier tested positive for the virus after visiting several bases near Daegu, including Camp Walker.
U.S. forces are a legacy of the 1950-1953 Korean War and continue to defend against threats from North Korea. The church said it had agreed to provide the government with contact details for all its members and people in trainee programmes, on the understanding the information would not be made public.
The disease is believed to have originated in a market selling wildlife in the Chinese city of Wuhan late last year and has infected about 80,000 people and killed more than 2,700 people, the vast majority in China.
