SILVER SPRING, MARYLAND - MAY 11: Maryland Cremation Services transporter Morgan Dean-McMillan gently moves the remains of a coronavirus victim onto a stretcher in the morgue at Adventist HealthCare White Oak Medical Center May 11, 2020 in Silver Spring, Maryland. MCS transporters travel hundreds of miles a day throughout the Washington Metro area while retrieving the remains of COVID-19 victims from hospitals and other care facilities to prepare them for cremation. The workload at the crematory is beginning to return to normal -- about nine cremations a day -- but during the recent height of the pandemic they processed an unprecedented 19 cremations in one day. For Dean-McMillan, 30, working in the cremation and funerary business is as much a calling as a career choice. She says God tells her it’s the right thing for her to do when she comforts people who have lost a loved one. “I’m where I’m supposed to be,” she said. She will begin funerary school in the fall.

South Korean authorities identified 79 new novel coronavirus cases yesterday — the most in a single day since April 5.

Sixty-eight of those were locally transmitted, with the majority found in Seoul, the province that surrounds the capital, Gyeonggi, and the city of Incheon.

Vice Health Minister Kim Gang-lip said that 54 of the patients identified Wednesday were traced to a logistics center in Bucheon, a satellite city 25 minutes from downtown Seoul. It’s possible that the Bucheon cases are linked to a cluster identified in Itaewon, a popular nightlife district in Seoul, but the investigation is ongoing, an official at the Health Ministry said.

More than 4,150 people connected to the Bucheon cluster have been put under quarantine and 83% of them have been tested, Kim said. The rest will be tested today.
