(Worthy News) – Churches in South Korea could be shut down for failing to implement preventative measures amid the spread of the coronavirus in the country’s most populous metropolitan region.
The Gyeonggi Province announced Tuesday that 140 churches in the area surrounding Seoul could face fines of as much as $2,400 if they fail to abide by their order.
The province’s administrative order calls for churches to list the names of congregants, screen them for fever and ensure that they wear masks and are at least 2 meters apart during services until March 29. [ Source: Fox News (Read More…) ]
