Liaoning Churches Closed Again Due to COVID-19

目前，为了疫情防控，辽宁大连旅顺区的各教堂、营口鲅鱼圈区以及熊岳镇的各教堂，已经暂停聚会，何时恢复需等待政府有关部门通知。

5月14日0时-19时，辽宁营口市新增2例新冠肺炎确诊病例，以及3例新冠肺炎无症状感染者，其主要旅居地在鲅鱼圈区，鲅鱼圈区已经宣布：居民无特殊原因，不要离区。

面对新的暂停，上述地区的教会已经尽最大努力通知全体会众按照要求执行。有的传道人告诉笔者，他们已经开始预备主日网络线上崇拜的证道讲章。

大连、营口其它地区教堂的聚会在接到相关部门的通知前照常进行，各教会要按照要求继续实行教堂的消杀工作，再次强调严格按照防疫要求戴口罩、测体温、扫码登记等方可进入教堂，并且要按照间隔距离在座位坐好。

Upon discovery of new COVID-19 positive cases, some churches in Liaoning province announced on Saturday the suspension of all in-person gatherings till further notice.

Bayuquan District in Yingkou City declared that residents could not leave the district without special reasons, as two positive and three asymptomatic cases of COVID-19 were detected in Yingkou on May 14.

Churches in Lvshunkou District (Dalian), Bayuquan District and Xiongyue Town in Liaoning have notified their congregations of the suspension of on-site gatherings, while some pastors said they had begun to prepare sermons for online Sunday services.

Before receiving the notice from relevant departments, churches in Dalian and Yingkou had implemented disinfection work and other COVID-19 protocols during worship.
