People Packed Places of Worship During First Weekend of Living with COVID in South Korea

Good to see that things are slowly getting back to normal:

 People flocked to churches and temples in South Korea on Sunday to attend worship services on the first weekend since the country began easing virus restrictions as part of steps to return to pre-pandemic normalcy.

South Korea on Monday kicked off the first of the three-stage “living with COVID-19” scheme to gradually phase out coronavirus restrictions as more than 70 percent of the population have been fully vaccinated. 

Under the eased rules, in-person worship services are now allowed to take up to 50 percent of their capacity regardless of attendees’ vaccination status. 

If the attendees are comprised only of fully vaccinated people or those who submit negative PCR test results, no such cap is applied.
