Daejeon City Extends Shincheonji Facility Closure Deadline to Next Month 5

[Asia Economy (Daejeon) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] Daejeon City is extending the closure deadline for facilities related to Shincheonji Church of Jesus located in the region.

The city recently announced on the 26th that, with the consent of Shincheonji, it has decided to extend the closure deadline for 40 Shincheonji-related facilities until the 5th of next month.

The extension applies to all Shincheonji-related facilities in the area, except for two facilities where leases have ended and have been demolished (after disinfection, preparing to lease to other facilities) and one facility operated by an individual.

Currently, Shincheonji has expressed its intention not to hold worship services or meetings regardless of facility closures even after the agreed closure deadline with the city (the 5th of next month).

Earlier, on February 28, the city conducted a full inspection and disinfection of Shincheonji-related facilities and ordered their closure. The city has also been conducting regular on-site inspections of these facilities.

A city official stated, “The city will do its best to prevent the local spread of COVID-19,” and added, “We also urge local residents to actively participate in social distancing to help prevent the spread of COVID-19 in the region.”
