It is a church in Jeungpyeong, Chungbuk, where a group infection occurred.
On the 25th, a believer in their twenties was tested positive, and a day later, five families attending this church were confirmed.
Afterwards, a bunch of 20 people, including church members, were infected, and those in their 60s who had contact with the confirmed patients were tested positive.
They are reported to have been in contact with them at a cafe in the same building after finishing the service on the 24th.
However, the church informed Jeungpyeong-gun that it had followed the quarantine regulations, such as worshiping while wearing a mask.
Jeungpyeong-gun ordered the church to ban gatherings until the 8th of the following month.
We are conducting a full-scale inspection on the members of this church, family members, and other contacts.

In this situation, Jeungpyeong-gun decided to upgrade its social distancing from the current stage 1.5 to stage 2.
Accordingly, gatherings and demonstrations of more than 100 people are prohibited, and entertainment facilities, singing practice centers, and indoor sports facilities must be suspended from 10:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. the next day.
Public facilities such as libraries, welfare centers, and sports facilities will be completely discontinued, and only people within 20% of the seats are allowed to participate in religious facility events.
