A Chengdu church in China’s southwestern Sichuan Province provided free COVID-19 testing for its members, after it resumed in-person gatherings on March 15.
Guangyin Church issued a notice on April 1, stating that the relevant department requires that believers conduct a negative nucleic acid test within 48 hours if the number of worshippers exceeds 100, so it invites medical staff to carry out COVID-19 testing, the fees of which are paid by the church. Believers are reminded to get tested at the gate of the church on the evening of Friday and morning of Saturday, or being tested locally at their own expense.
