SEOUL (Reuters) – Around 4,000 recovered COVID-19 patients from a religious group at the centre of South Korea\u2019s largest outbreak will donate plasma for research, an official said on Tuesday, a day after local officials filed a lawsuit against the church.<\/span><\/p>\n

In February and March, a massive outbreak among members of the Shincheonji Church of Jesus made South Korea the scene of the first large outbreak outside of China.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

At least 5,213 of the country\u2019s total 12,484 cases have been linked to the church outbreak, according to the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (KCDC).<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Church founder Lee Man-hee had internally advised recovered members to donate their plasma, which is badly needed for coronavirus research, Shincheonji media coordinator Kim Young-eun told Reuters on Tuesday.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Many of recovered church members wanted to donate to express thanks to the government and medical staff, she said.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

The city of Daegu – where most of the church infections were centred – filed a civil lawsuit against the church on Monday, seeking 100 billion won ($82.75 million) in damages.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Daegu authorities had previously filed a complaint against the church accusing it of not submitting a full list of members and facilities, and not cooperating with city health efforts.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Shincheonji says it fully complied with government efforts.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

The National Institute of Health said 185 people have so far come forward to donate plasma as of Monday and said they were in talks with Shincheonji for donations.<\/span><\/p>\n

South Korea health officials have said that in the absence of other treatments or vaccines, plasma therapy may be a way to lower the death rate, especially in critical patients.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

At least 17 South Koreans have received the experimental therapy, which involves using plasma from recovered patients with antibodies to the virus, enabling the body to defend against the disease.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

South Korea has reported 281 deaths from COVID-19.<\/span><\/p>\n

Health authorities said they were testing 176 people who came into contact with crew members on a Russian fishing vessel docked at Busan after 16 aboard the vessel were tested positive.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

($1 = 1,208.4500 won)<\/span><\/p>\n
