Representatives of religious organizations representing Christianity, Buddhism, and Catholicism attended the meeting held at the Nohwa-eup office that day.
In response to the recent cluster infection through the Shincheonji Church and the upgrade of the infectious disease crisis alert level to "serious," measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in the community were discussed.
Choo Gyo-hoon, head of Nohwa-eup, said, "The county is currently operating a 24-hour emergency quarantine duty system, designating and operating screening clinics at Wando Daeseong Hospital and the county health care center, and has formed a one-on-one task force for self-quarantined individuals. We have installed thermal detection cameras at the port terminal, Hwahaengpo Port, and the bus terminal to monitor people with fever and are significantly strengthening quarantine measures at densely populated facilities. We are making every effort to prevent COVID-19, so we ask religious organizations in the town to refrain as much as possible from events where many people gather."
In response, representatives of religious organizations also expressed their intention to actively participate in overcoming the crisis by refraining from lunch and group religious events after worship.
