is a church in Gunsan where 11 corona19 confirmed cases occurred.



The number of confirmed cases has been increasing since this church-related person attended a meeting of a church in the previous week on the 25th and 26th of last month.



It is known that the meeting held in Jeonju was not a general worship service, but a ritual to heal diseases through religious force.



It is said that people make a loud noise along with physical contact, and quarantine regulations have not been observed.

Eventually, there were 6 confirmed cases in Jeonju Church.



Since the 23rd of last month, this rally has been conducted nationwide, including Daejeon, Jeonju, and Hoengseong, Gangwon-do, and the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that the infection started in Hoengseong.



A pastor from Seoul held a rally, and as a result, the number of confirmed cases is increasing not only in Seoul, but also in Daejeon and Gumi in Gyeongbuk.



Health officials have repeatedly emphasized that quarantine regulations must be strictly followed, urging that religious gatherings be refrained from tomorrow, even for Easter tomorrow.



[Eun-kyung Jung/Director of the Korea Disease Control Center: It is predicted that there will be many religious events.

If possible, please share the joy of Easter non-face-to-face...

management of confirmed cases through religious gatherings is expected to be another watershed in the outbreak of COVID-19.
