SEOUL (Reuters) - The metropolitan government in South Korea's capital Seoul said on Friday it would seek 4.6 billion won (3.06 million pounds) in damages against a church for causing the spread of the coronavirus by disrupting tracing and testing efforts.
A fresh wave of infections erupted at a church whose members attended a large protest in downtown Seoul in mid-August, becoming the country's largest cluster in the greater capital area. The outbreak has driven triple-digit increases in daily COVID-19 cases for more than a month.
