The Cult of Almighty God maliciously purchased land in Huaishan·Boeun County and lived in a collective concealed and closed base. The government's epidemic prevention department has so far been unable to grasp the list of internal residents.

As the fact that the "Almighty God Sect" purchased land in Boeun and Goesan in Chungbuk and lived in a collective boarding life was confirmed, the residents showed fear on their faces. With more than 70 to 90 residents living in a place, people are worried that if they are not careful, they will become the birthplace of the collective infection of the new coronavirus.

It is reported that they have recently established bases in Hwayang-ri, Cheongcheon-myeon, Goesan-gun, Chungcheongbuk-do, Gildang-ri, and Sinjeong-ri outside Boeun-gun, Chungcheongbuk-do. They live a life of complete isolation from the outside world. .

Following the purchase of more than 13,000 square meters of land for the training institute in Huayang-ri, Qingchuan-myeon in Huaishan Mountain in 2018, the open garden youth hotel in Jitang-ri outside Boen Mountain and the nearby rice fields, dry fields and livestock houses, they purchased it again in May last year Biefang Youth City located in Xinzhengli outside the mountain. It is reported that the Almighty God Sect uses the purchased rice fields and dry fields to be self-sufficient internally.

However, when residents in various regions are worried about the collective infection of the new coronavirus, the new coronavirus will spread if they are not careful. It is reported that there are currently more than 70 people living in the Cheongcheon-myeon Training Institute, and more than 90 people living in the Youth Hostel outside the mountain. The Biefang Youth City is operated as a prayer house and currently has no residents.

A resident of the village outside the mountain (54 years old) said: "The unheard of Almighty God heretical group entered and occupied a corner of the village. I was too worried." "I heard that I live a hidden boarding life, but I don't know the details. What are you doing? What if a mass infection of the novel coronavirus breaks out? It is really disturbing."

Fortunately, there has been no confirmed incident of the new coronavirus related to the cult group so far, and there have been no conflicts with residents.

Residents are feeling uneasy, so starting from the beginning of last year, Aocheon-myeon and Sanwai have been supporting epidemic prevention items together with the health center at any time and paying close attention to them.

The problem is that it is difficult for the government's epidemic prevention department to ensure the list of internal residents. Because most of the residents are Chinese, there is no list, so if something happens, there may be a lack of corresponding measures such as epidemiological investigations.

Therefore, although the district offices and health centers have put forward the request for the list of residents while preventing the epidemic, they are still in a state of rejection.

In addition, outsiders are strictly prohibited from entering and leaving. When I went to the two places where I lived outside the mountain and Cheongcheon-myeon, I discovered that access was restricted by roadblocks, and a notice was set up to "not accept foreign visitors."

They use the epidemic prevention materials and equipment supported by the health center to carry out epidemic prevention activities by themselves.

A resident B of Cheongcheon-myeon (62 years old) said: "As far as I know, the internal person in charge is continuing to reflect the self-prevention situation of the residents to the Mian office through photos and videos." "Although I am a little uneasy, I heard about them. It’s a blessing to live a closed life."

A person in Qingchuan-myeon said: "Because it is not registered as a religious facility, the government cannot effectively supervise it. Although there is a shortage of anti-epidemic items, we will prepare separate support for the training center from all levels ." "If anti-epidemic items are dropped, we will contact us. Ask for support. They seem to be paying attention to the epidemic, and the government will continue to pay close attention."
