It is also noted in religious facilities other than churches that this is because face-to-face events are allowed.

Signs forbidding entry were hung throughout the temple, and only monks were seen in the hall where the temple was held.
Unlike churches, temples and churches can have a face-to-face meeting or mass if they observe the quarantine rules.
However, due to concerns about the spread of the Corona 19 infection, it was decided to broadcast the court online.

Tensions have risen as sporadic COVID-19 infections continue in religious facilities such as Buddhist churches and temples.
