A South Korean church has been struck down with coronavirus, including its own pastor and his wife.

At least 46 people have been infected with the disease after an official failed to wipe a saltwater spray bottle they sprayed inside their mouths to protect them.

Six people, including the pastor of River of Grace Community Church in Seongnam, near Seoul, initially tested positive following the gathering on March 8.

On Monday the city's government revealed 40 more people from the church had developed coronavirus.
