In other Shincheonji-related news, 3741 congregants of Shincheonji Daegu Church, who had contracted Covid-19 and recovered, donated their blood plasma over three rounds in an effort to help develop treatment for COVID-19. Of this figure, 1561 donors donated their blood plasma more than twice. Mr. Jun-wook Kwon, Deputy Head of the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency (KDCA), expressed his gratitude to donors in person in November 2020, saying, “The blood plasma donation by believers of Shincheonji Church, who have now recovered from COVID-19, will make an indelible contribution to overcoming this pandemic and, eventually, will eradicate it. We hope that the voluntary and active example set by Shincheonji Church members today will serve as an example to all citizens.” The KDCA has confirmed that it is expected to secure blood plasma treatment to potentially alleviate the suffering of many Covid sufferers in Korea and beyond.

Shincheonji Volunteer Group will continue to put love for its neighbours and marginalised communities into practice through various cultural and voluntary activities, having partnered with 72 national and international volunteer agencies for initiatives that include improvements of the road network, implementation of environmental clean-up campaigns, delivery of homemade lunches, and provision of beauty services and mural painting.
