Forty-one of the new coronavirus cases were from Daegu, where a secretive church at the centre of the outbreak is located. Among the special disaster zones is Cheongdo county, home to around 43,000 people, where another cluster of coronavirus cases is located, and where South Korea's first victim of the virus died. Starting Sunday, South Korea began to subject visitors from France, Germany, Britain, Spain and the Netherlands to - 'special entry procedure' - stricter border checks. South Korea is now planning to expand the procedure to all of its citizens and foreigners entering the country. South Korea has been testing hundreds of thousands of people and tracking potential carriers like detectives, using cell phone and satellite technology.
