Pyeongtaek City Issues Executive Order to Prevent COVID-19

[Suwon Ilbo=Correspondent Seo Dong-young] Pyeongtaek City issued an executive order on the 29th to prevent COVID-19.

Attendees and visitors of Seohae Road Church in Anjung-eup since the 15th are subject to diagnostic testing and must visit a screening clinic by the 30th to undergo testing.

The assembly ban order for Seohae Road Church and indoor sports facilities within residential complexes in the city, as well as the Pyeongtaek sex trade district (Tongbok-ro 26-gil, 32-gil areas) will remain in effect from 0:00 on the 29th through 24:00 on September 11th.

A city health official stated, "We issued the executive order promptly as local transmission centered in the Seoul metropolitan area is very serious. In particular, four confirmed cases occurred among church members of Seohae Road Church on the 28th alone, which prompted these measures," adding, "Going forward, we will conduct inspections jointly with Pyeongtaek Police Station regarding compliance, and will take strict measures in accordance with relevant laws in case of violations."
