Reuters: Church at center of South Korea coronavirus outbreak sits silent as infections surge
DAEGU, South Korea (Reuters) - Usually teeming with thousands of worshippers, the church at the center of South Korea’s largest coronavirus outbreak was shuttered and silent on Friday, surrounded by empty streets.
