About 4,000 congregation of Shincheonji Daegu church who have recovered from Corona19 are going to donate plasma. Earlier, in July and September, about 2,000 congregations had donated plasma twice. The pharmaceutical industry is developing a blood system drug by fractionating antibodies with immunogenicity from the plasma of the recovered.

Plasma donation by congregations of Shincheonji Daegu church will be held at the Daegu Athletics Promotion Center indoor stadium for 3 weeks starting on 16th. The reason why the donation period is 3 weeks is that it takes about 3 hours per person to donate plasma because it is similar method to blood donation. The congregations decided not to receive transportation expenses(about 300 dollars) paid to plasma donors.

Shincheonji Daegu church was designated as a medium for the corona19 pandemic in TK(Daegu and Gyeongbuk). At that time, Among the total cumulative patients in Daegu, 4265 were counted as Shincheonji congregants.

The third donation of plasma of congregation accelerated after a thankyou letter from Chairman Lee. of Shincheonji church. Chairman Lee sent a special think-you letter to the recovered congregations who indicated their intention to donate plasma to develop COVID 19 treatment. 

He wrote in the letter, "I was delighted to hear that the members indicated their intention to donate plasma for the development for a treatment for COVID 19. I know that all congregations have gathered their hearts for people in the world to be free from the suffering of Corona 19."

There are also those who are not grateful looking at plasma donation of Shincheonji members. Their perspective is Shincheonji is trying to change its image through a kind of volunteer activity. But, an official from Shincheonji Daegu church said "Congregation members voluntarily donate plasma with gratitude to the government for testing and treating Corona 19."
