In August, the Sarangjeil church, which had been the trigger for the pandemic in the metropolitan area, resumed worship at the site 80 days after its closure. The church said it would follow quarantine regulations, and the ward office said it appears to be working well. Connect with reporters on the scene. Reporter Hong Min-ki! Please tell me about the situation on the site. The three worship services scheduled for today (1st) ended. The church believes that around 900 people attended the three worship services as of 7 a.m. today. Sarangjeil Church has resumed field service as of today. 81 days passed after Seongbuk-gu’s Seoul office closed the church on August 13. On the 29th of last month, two days ago, the Seongbuk-gu Office lifted the order to ban church gatherings. The district office explained that it took into account the ease of one-step social distancing. The church also decided to fill only 30% of all chapels according to the step 1 guidelines of distancing from the government. To this end, church members received a request for assistance via text message in advance and participants were selected through a lottery. Consequently, only a maximum of 400 people participated in the three services held this morning. The church also said that only members from the metropolitan area would be able to attend this time and requested that children with weak immunity or older people with underlying illnesses receive worship online for a time. There is no policy to rent buses across the country or to worship in the parks around the church. There should be no other group infections like before, did you follow the quarantine rules well? It looked relatively better than a few months ago. Before entering the chapel, you must take your temperature and disinfect your hands, and go through the door where the disinfectant is sprayed on both sides. Inside the chapel, church members could be seen sitting at intervals and singing hymns wearing masks. The district office, which inspected the site today, also assessed that it appears to be in good compliance with quarantine regulations. However, he said the pastor at the church podium had warned of shortcomings such as putting on and taking off a mask. Additionally, he said he warned the church administration team, including the pastor, that if another confirmed person happens in the church, they will enter the ban on meetings without notice. The church is reported to have also signed a pledge that said “I will show a different look.” This is because the group infection that began last August, mainly in the Sarangjeil church, has spread throughout the country. At that time, there were more than 1,700 confirmed cases of infection in the Gwanghwamun church and assembly, and Pastor Jeon Kwang-hoon was also confirmed. After the massive infection, suspicions arose that the church was interfering with the government quarantine, and the church was seized and searched by police in August. The Seoul Metropolitan Government also claimed it was responsible for redistribution, such as interfering with epidemiological investigations and submitting false data, and claimed damages of 4.6 billion won from the former pastor and the Sarangjeil Church. However, the church has filed a lawsuit against the government and the media, claiming that the government is responsible for the spread of Corona 19. Pastor Jeon was brought to trial on charges of violating the Public Officials Elections Act and is currently being held in a detention center. Apart from this, he was also accused of violating the Infectious Disease Prevention Act and was recently investigated by the police in a detention center.
