More than 30 confirmed patients came out of the prayer center in Jinju, Gyeongsangnam-do, and the facility was closed.

Despite several warnings from the quarantine authorities, this prayer center was unable to avoid the mass infection while conducting face-to-face worship.

International Prayer Center in Jinju, Gyeongnam.

The entrance entrance was blocked and a notice was posted indicating the facility was closed.

This is because there have been more than 30 confirmed cases in this facility.

It has been confirmed that a Gyeonggi-do confirmed person, who was recently confirmed, has lectured here for six days since the last 3rd.

A confirmed patient in Busan also visited this prayer center.

This prayer center ignored social distancing and conducted face-to-face worship several times.

Despite several instruction and fines, more than 20 people gathered on the 5th to hold an event and the quarantine authorities dismissed it.

The quarantine authorities said the prayer centers were not even registered as religious facilities and that the believers were also uncooperating in the epidemiological investigation.

Concerned about the spread of the region, the quarantine authorities issued an administrative order for mandatory inspection to visitors.

Only 180 verified visitors.

As family and acquaintances have initiated serial infections, concerns about further spread are growing.

The quarantine authorities have a policy of responding strongly, such as charging fees for testing and treatment as well as legal action if confirmed without being tested until the 18th.
