As social distancing eased, churches across the country resumed face-to-face worship on Sunday.
When the reporters looked at the site, there were many churches that did not properly follow the quarantine guidelines, such as banning the operation of the choir, limiting the number of people, and writing a list.

Sunday morning, a large church.
A line of believers enters inside.
You must receive double and triple quarantine measures, including hand disinfection and body temperature measurement, in a full body sterilizer to enter.
How about the worship service?
The preaching pastor only installed a screen around it, and did not wear a mask.
Violation of quarantine guidelines.
The operation of the choir was also banned, but they gathered together to sing.
I didn’t even wear a mask.
However, the church complained that the government’s quarantine measures were unfair, saying that other places are more dangerous and the church is safe.
[A 교회 목사 : 다른 취약 지역을 더 많이 가서 관심을 두고…. 교회는 안 그래도 돼요. 투명 플라스틱으로 상자 속에 갇혀서 설교하고 있어요. 그러니까 비말이 바깥으로 전파될 리는 전혀 없는 거죠.]
Another church.
Hand sanitizers and access lists are nowhere to be found.
[B 교회 관계자 : (예배는) 9시인데, 지금 올라오세요.]
Even the pastor of this church did not wear a mask.
[B 교회 목사 : 나라에서도 20%까지는 예배드려도 된다고 허락해주지 않았습니까. 그런데도 꾸물꾸물하고 있는 것은…적극적으로 나서야 해요.]
In phase 2 of the distance, face-to-face worship at the church is only allowed for 20% of the garden, but some are not.
This church with a capacity of 126 people can attend 25 people.
28 people attended the morning service.
[C 교회 관계자 : 최대 좌석 수가 100명은 넘나? 의자 당 6명이니까.]
Food provision was also a violation of the quarantine rules, but bread and milk were distributed.
[C 교회 관계자 : (이게 뭐예요?) 식사를 못 하니까, 이거라도 드시라고….]
The Korean Federation of Churches, the largest group of Protestants, welcomed the government’s permission to worship face-to-face, and asked its churches to cooperate with the quarantine authorities.
