However, cases of small group infections still appear in many places, and it is a step that cannot be vigilant. In one church in Seongnam, Gyeonggi Province, the number of confirmed people, including a couple of pastors, increased to six, but it was controversial that some churches held a field service instead of online yesterday (15th) on Sunday.

The government asked to refrain from on-site worship because of concerns about small group infections in dense places such as churches.

In fact, three church members and one family member attended the worship service held on the 8th at the 'River of Grace' church in Seongnam, Gyeonggi Province.

The couple of pastors in the church were also confirmed yesterday, and only six corona-19 confirmed church members were identified.

Seongnam City decided to conduct a total investigation of 135 members of this church.
