Fear and suspicion have permeated South Korea as it became the site of the largest COVID-19 outbreak outside of mainland China, according to one Canadian living there.

Courtney McCann was used to giving lectures in her classroom, not receiving them at her local convenience store.

The too-big mask, which gaped around her narrow nose, wouldn't have drawn any attention days earlier, but things have changed drastically since then, said McCann, who moved from Victoria in November to teach English in the city on the southeastern coast of the peninsula nation. "We're both young adults, so it's not necessarily fatal for us," McCann said. "That's the big concern here -- people being close to their older relatives and the older relatives catching it.""This is usually really a close country. In Korea, people sit close together at restaurants and even on buses," she said. "But there has been more space. We went to go to lunch and people will sit on the opposite side of the restaurant.

The Shincheonji church's leader claims to be an immortal angel of Jesus and the sect, which has 200,000 followers, is decried as a cult by other Christian groups. "At this point the stigma's almost become worse than the virus itself and just how people are acting around it," she said.
