Seoul City checks church quarantine on weekend of worship
Seoul City inspects thousands of places… Churches that do’face-to-face worship’ are’still’
A case of “without a mask and practicing Christmas events” was also caught
[앵커]
A few days before Christmas, the number of confirmed church-related cases is increasing in various places in the metropolitan area.
On-site inspections were conducted on Sundays, and although there were many places that followed the rules, there were still many places where face-to-face worship was held or small groups were held.

A large church in Seoul.
An official with a checklist enters the chapel.
On the weekend of worship, we started to inspect quarantine.
Do you have non-face-to-face worship, whether you are using an access list, and whether hand sanitizers are provided, and fill out the tickets one by one.
“What about providing food or running a restaurant? (We don’t do it right now.) We’ll check it out later.”
Only 10 people gathered in this church in a chapel that can seat up to 10,000 people.
Only essential personnel attended to do non-face-to-face worship.
Everyone from the pastor to the accompaniment to the hymn wore a mask and held an online worship service.
As such, there are over a thousand churches that the city of Seoul has inspected in one day.
In general, the rules were followed, but the problem is some small churches that don’t have an online worship system.

[○○교회 관계자 : (예배하나요?) 네네. (대면으로 진행하는 거예요?) 네. (근데) 저희 교회 교인이 아니면 좀….]
When I visited myself, six or seven members of the church had gathered in a small space and had a face-to-face service.
[○○교회 관계자 : (교인분들만 나오셔서 진행하는 거예요?) 네네. 저희는 소모임이나 그런 음식제공은 안 해요.]
It has been found that there are still cases of practicing Christmas events without wearing a mask in the safety newspaper report where violations of quarantine rules are reported.
The local government and the quarantine authorities said that in step 2.5 of the distance, non-face-to-face is the principle, and emphasized that a fine of less than 3 million won could be imposed for violation.
In particular, the recent church infection was a link between small groups and meals, and as Christmas is approaching, we repeatedly appealed to follow the quarantine rules.

The Seoul Metropolitan Government requested that people in high-risk groups, such as parcel delivery and logistics and restaurant employees, as well as those working in religious facilities, go to a screening clinic, saying that they can receive pre-emptive tests free of charge.
