[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Ji-hee] Gyeonggi Province announced on the 8th that it will extend the mandatory closure and assembly ban period for Shincheonji-related facilities until the 22nd of this month to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19).


Previously, on the 24th of last month, Gyeonggi Province issued an emergency administrative order to forcibly close all 415 Shincheonji assembly facilities in the province and ban assemblies for two weeks until that day. However, due to the continued occurrence of cluster infections in other churches and hospitals, the measure has been extended.



Accordingly, Shincheonji facilities in Gyeonggi Province will be forcibly closed and all assemblies banned for four weeks from the 24th of last month until the 22nd of this month. On that day, 54 staff members will go to the sites with Shincheonji facilities to enforce this administrative order.
