On the 16th, when the government raised the social distancing measures to Level 2 in the Seoul and Gyeonggi areas due to the spread of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19), church members attended Sunday worship while maintaining distance at Yeouido Full Gospel Church in Seoul. Religious facilities, classified as medium-risk facilities, are regulated according to the assembly restriction administrative orders of Seoul City and Gyeonggi Province. Regular worship services, masses, and Buddhist ceremonies are allowed on the condition of strict compliance with essential quarantine rules, but various small gatherings or meal meetings among church members are not permitted. Violating the order may result in a ban on even regular assemblies./Reporter Kim Hyun-min kimhyun81@
