is a cathedral in Seoul that celebrated the second Easter after Corona 19.
Members who will attend Mass can only enter after taking a barcode that can be identified.
In the metropolitan area, the number of people participating in religious events is 20% of the seats, so the number of people who participate in Mass is limited on a first-come, first-served basis.
The church also held an Easter service while keeping a strict distance, such as sitting more than 1 meter apart.
Starting from Easter, Seoul has conducted special inspections of over 1,200 religious facilities.

We checked in advance whether there is a disinfectant/ventilator and how ventilation is being performed.]
However, group infections have already begun in some churches.
From the 23rd of last month, members of the so-called'Sisters Church' who share the same name have held tour meetings in Daejeon, Jeonju, and Hoengseong, Gangwon-do. There were 71 confirmed cases in the city.
Some local governments, such as Daejeon, are reviewing orders to ban gatherings on religious facilities this week.
In addition, the cumulative number of confirmed cases increased to 17 at the church in Seocho-gu, Seoul, and 21 visitors have been infected since the first confirmed case on the 31st of last month at Wondang Beopdang in Goyang, Gyeonggi-do.
