result of our interviews, it was confirmed that the staff of a vocational college in Seoul gathered closely and had a worship service in a situation where confirmed cases continue to appear around the metropolitan church. It is also pointed out that these religious activities outside the church are difficult to manage in fact, and there are loopholes in quarantine.

Reporter Kang Min-woo covered this alone.

Faculty members gathered at a vocational college in Seoul, a major auditorium, listen to a sermon and sing hymns.

[Hallelujah, Hallelujah.]

[School officials: ○○ Thank you for allowing all faculty members to gather in one place to greet the Lord and worship.]

Even though there was a message saying to sit down to prevent coronavirus, the attendees sat tightly. [School officials: Everyone has suffered a lot

from the corona infection, and

I am a little worried about gathering many people... .]

Distance was not observed until the end of the event.

The school said that prior to the start of the second semester, it held a meeting to engage in religious activities, and that the faculty and staff participated autonomously with quarantine measures in place.

[School officials: You can think of it as a faculty chapel. So, it's not something like this, and if you don't want to listen to it, you don't have to listen... .]

However, in the internal notice secured by SBS, there is a statement saying that non-participants report to the school separately.

Participants said it was virtually impossible not to attend because attendance checks were also conducted.

It turned out that 68 staff members attended the event, and staff from other vocational schools near the school were also present.

The problem is that there is no way to limit this kind of out-of-church group activity.

This is because events held at schools that are not religious facilities are not subject to the group prohibition order.

Church-foot infections are spreading nationwide, and additional measures are needed to refrain from religious gatherings.
