<Reporter> The
church in Buk-gu, Daegu, has been ordered to ban gathering since last September for violating the quarantine regulations.
However, without worrying about it, dozens of church members were gathered and held face-to-face worship every weekend.
Some members of the church also refused to wear masks, claiming it was a religious belief.
[Daegu City official: He seems to have a strong conviction that he must take off his mask when worshiping.
It may be for religious reasons, well.] The
number of times Daegu City accused the city of violating violations reached 16 times, but the church was recently caught conducting another face-to-face worship service.
The 17th violation did not stop at accusation.
In line with the enforcement of the amendment to the Infectious Disease Prevention Act, that facilities that violate the quarantine regulations can be closed, Daegu City has closed the church from the 31st.
In Busan, the number of confirmed cases related to the foot bath experience room increased to 14.
After the owner of the experience room at the officetel was first confirmed, 7 visitors were infected, and 6 additional contacts were confirmed.
[Officetel Security Guard: It's not a jjimjilbang, it's an office, but people come and go, so I don't know what's going on in the office.]
Busan City believes that there will be more visitors who have not yet been identified, and everyone who visited the experience room from the 5th took a diagnostic test. I asked to accept it.
