[Asia Economy Reporter Seomideum] Yoido Full Gospel Church will resume temperature checks for all worshippers attending Sunday services starting on the 17th as a preemptive measure to prevent the resurgence of COVID-19.


Senior Pastor Lee Young-hoon announced during the Sunday service on the 10th, "In response to the recent resurgence of COVID-19 with over 20,000 daily confirmed cases, we are implementing preemptive measures. Starting next Sunday service, all worshippers will undergo temperature checks before entering the sanctuary. Those exhibiting fever symptoms will be directed to a separate location to attend the service."


He added, "We will also enforce stricter mask-wearing during services to block potential transmission."



A church official explained, "As COVID-19 cases have been rising recently and the government plans to announce response measures on the 13th, the church intends to strengthen quarantine measures proactively. Yoido Full Gospel Church has actively cooperated with government quarantine policies since the outbreak of COVID-19, and there has not been a single case of infection linked to worship services within the church."
