Governor Lee Jae-myung Issues "Final Warning" to Sarang Jeil Church and Gwanghwamun Rally Participants to Get Tested by August 30

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Seo Dong-young] "This is the final warning. Get tested by August 30."

Gyeonggi Province Governor Lee Jae-myung has urged participants in Sarang Jeil Church services and Gwanghwamun rallies to undergo COVID-19 diagnostic testing.

Governor Lee said on August 28 through his Facebook, "I have issued an administrative order for those who participated in Sarang Jeil Church-related gatherings from August 7 to 19, and rallies in the Gwanghwamun area on August 8 and 15 to undergo COVID-19 diagnostic testing by August 30 of this month. I have set a long testing period and arranged for simple visitors to receive free testing so they can get tested without revealing their participation in rallies or church meetings."

Governor Lee stated, "There is no 'moderation' in Gyeonggi Province administration. Acts of non-cooperation or obstruction of infectious disease prevention, on which our collective survival depends, will result in criminal and civil liability to prevent recurrence," pressuring those who refuse to be tested despite such measures.

He continued, "Whether people participated in the relevant gatherings can be verified in any number of ways, and if a person is infected, past contact history will certainly be revealed in epidemiological investigations. By August 30, be sure to undergo COVID-19 testing at the earliest possible time."
