Release of quarantine 13,901 (+38 from yesterday)

In addition, many infected people from the church caused an emergency. It is said that some churches sang songs without wearing masks and had dinner together. In addition, today, with the arrival of Korea's Gwangju, various groups have been held to protest the government, raising the sense of tension. It is known that among the religious organizations that held the meeting, the number of people applied for was 100, and with permission, it was known that more than 5000 people actually gathered, which is a problem.
We've managed to get this far with everyone's efforts, so I hope the church and the group will work together.
Korea has been raining for weeks. There are many places in Japan where water damage is severe. Last week's rain caused Seoul's Hangang Park to fall into the water, damaging several roads. It seems that commuting on weekdays took 2-3 times longer than usual.
It's a tough summer with water damage on top of the coronavirus.
