Korean police leave the Sarang Jeil Church in northern Seoul on August 20. Excluding the southern resort island of Jeju, 16 major cities and provisions reported new virus infections, Yonhap reports. Cases tied to the Sarang Jeil Church in northern Seoul, a new hotbed of the latest flare-up in virus cases, came to 676 as of noon Thursday, up 53 from a day earlier. Some Sarang Jeil Church members took part in the rally. The spiking virus cases are likely to present tough challenges to the country over whether to impose more tougher anti-virus measures.
