You seem to be in church right now, has face-to-face worship started?

[기자]

I am on the second floor of the chapel of this church.

The face-to-face worship started a little earlier, at 11 am.

Prayers and hymns are being held with about 60 members present.

It is said that the number of participants was less than usual when trying to follow the quarantine rules.

Earlier at 9 a.m., only about 40 members attended the service.

Face-to-face worship in the church resumed two months after August 19, when it turned into non-face-to-face worship.

This is how social distancing comes down to the first level.

However, quarantine authorities limited the number of participants as there were still concerns about infection of the churches.

In the case of the metropolitan area, only 30% of the number of seats in the chapel can be attended,

In the non-metropolitan area, each local government had to decide the conditions of worship face to face.

Also, quarantine regulations should be observed as in the past, and various small meals and food bans will be upheld for a while.

Consequently, some churches received pre-service requests from believers and guided the QR code verification method.

In this church, fever tests, hand disinfection and lists were made from the entrance.

Even inside the chapel, we could see seated at a distance of more than 2m between seats.

Although the number of people was limited and small groups and meals were prohibited, concerns about the recurrence of congregational infection from churches remain high.

The government has decided to ban the facilities or impose a fine of no more than 3 million won for intentional or repeated violations of quarantine regulations.
