The church said it made the donation to the Community Chest of Korea, with 10 billion won from its branch in Daegu and 2 billion won from its headquarters. A branch of the Shincheonji cult in the southeastern city of Daegu is thought to be the epicenter of the latest spike in infections. The number of COVID-19 infections in the country reached 5,766 on Thursday.

“We do feel responsible for the massive number of infections of the virus and do our best to support the government-led disease-control measures with all our resources,” the cult said. “We pray for the quick stabilization of the situation and the recovery of all patients.” Earlier this week, Lee Man-hee, the founder of the homegrown cult, apologized for the spread of the disease and vowed to fully cooperate with government efforts to combat it.
