Authorities in the South Korean capital, Seoul, have banned gatherings of more than 10 people after new cases of coronavirus reached a five-month high.
The measure takes effect on Friday and will remain in place until the end of the month.
The latest virus cluster originated in a church and has spread to over 100 facilities in greater Seoul.
The conservative Sarang Jeil Church - whose members rallied in the city at the weekend - is highly critical of the South Korean government. They say they are being unfairly targeted and some are refusing to be tested for the virus.
