In northeast China’s Liaoning Province, some churches in Shenyang and Tieling suspended in-person gatherings due to recent COVID-19 outbreaks, while others in Dalian and Anshan tightened anti-epidemic measures while hosting church services.
More than two months after the last outbreak, Shenyang City reported new asymptomatic cases who had returned from other places and have caused the spread in the community.
Churches in Tiexi District, Huanggu District, and Yuhong District of the city that had resumed face-to-face services for over one month implemented the measure of “double suspensions” which refers to the suspending of the opening of worship places and group religious activities.
In addition, some churches in Changtu County, Tieling City, were also required to cease onsite gatherings.
To protect churchgoers while worshiping, a church in another city of Dalian demanded worshippers to follow the COVID-19 protocols, such as showing health codes and itinerary codes with the admission pass or ID card for the registration and sitting with masks at socially distanced intervals. Those who have suspected COVID-19 symptoms such as fever, cough, and diarrhea, or who arrived in Dalian from other places within seven days are not allowed to enter the church.
A church in Anshan City also informed its members that to attend the service they should show negative nucleic acid results taken within 72 hours and the people who returned from the cities of Shenyang, Dalian, Tieling, and Benxi, are required to undergo a seven-day home quarantine and then will be able to attend the church service.
It was reported that Liaoning detected two confirmed cases and seven asymptomatic cases last Thursday.

近日，辽宁省沈阳市在两个多月后又出现了疫情，新增了无症状感染者。据介绍，此次疫情又是输入疫情，从外地返回人员感染了，回到沈阳引发了疫情。这些人员都是此次疫情的关联人员，而且都是社会面检测出来的，疫情已经在社会面引发了传播。为此，沈阳市的铁西区、皇姑区、于洪区等地已经恢复聚会一个多月的教堂接到有关部门通知，再度“双暂停”，不能举行实地聚会。
同时，辽宁铁岭市昌图县的部分教堂也按有关部门要求暂停实地聚会。
受疫情影响， 大连有教会告知信徒：鉴于近期国内疫情形式严峻，为保证教会聚会正常进行，所以请弟兄姊妹们能继续严格遵守相关防疫规定。 一、戴口罩入场，服从引导间隔就坐。发烧，咳嗽，腹泻等疑似新冠症状者请勿入堂。
二、进堂所有人员均需出示两码，带好教会发的通行证（如果丢失或无证者要携带身份证实名登记）。
三、近七天有大连域外旅居史的人员请不要入堂。
鞍山的教会也通知信徒：最近因周边地区疫情反弹，根据要求请大家来教堂之前，请做72小时以内的核酸。特别最近从沈阳、大连、铁岭、本溪地区回来的信徒及家人，请暂时不进教堂，自行在家隔离一周后，来教堂参加聚会。
据报道，8月25日，辽宁本土新增确诊2例 ，本土新增无症状7例。
