<Anchor> As
quarantine measures have been strengthened since last weekend, religious facilities and downtown downtown were relatively quiet over the weekend. However, there was one place that was crowded with people. People flocked to the screening clinic in the muddy snow and cold weather.
This is reporter Jung Gu-hee.

a large church in Yeouido, when members hold their cell phones, it appears whether they are vaccinated or not.
The church only allowed those who had been vaccinated to enter the morning worship service.
Since last weekend, if a religious event is held only with people who have been vaccinated, 70% of seats will be available.
However, if there is even one unvaccinated person, 30% of the occupancy is limited to a maximum of 299 people.
[Jae-Hong Shim/Elder of Yoido Full Gospel Church: Last week, about 80-90% of the worshipers attended, but during the 2nd service, which came in the most (yesterday), only 40-50% came.]
More than 70 people infected with Omicron mutation came out. The Incheon local church also resumed face-to-face worship yesterday.
Streets that have lost their year-end specials due to strengthening social distancing are quiet.
There are also some shops that are completely closed.
Movie theaters that are closed until 10pm will have their last screening before 8pm.
[Lee Hyun-jung / Gwangmyeong-si, Gyeonggi-do: Reservation was not difficult because there were still many seats left.
(The year-end) Feeling a little depressed?
It's about meeting a small group of 2 people and having a meeting.]
On the other hand, screening centers don't have time to set foot even on weekends.
I put on a hat and a scarf in padding and try to endure the cold, but the line hardly gets shorter due to the crowds.
The sigh of the self-employed and the cultural industry is expected to deepen until the 2nd of next month, when the strengthened quarantine measures continue.
