Due to the spread of COVID-19, the Catholic Archdiocese of Seoul has suspended all Masses for the first time since its establishment in 1831. On the 26th, Myeongdong Cathedral in Seoul appeared deserted. The Archdiocese of Seoul decided to suspend all parish Masses, including Sunday Masses, from that day until the 10th of next month, and also to cancel all gatherings. During this period, only the cathedral will be temporarily open for individual prayer./Reporter Kim Hyun-min kimhyun81@
