Recently 800 infrared thermometers were distributed to local churches in Changchun, in China's northeastern Jilin Province.
As there were COVID-19 infection clusters in Shulan, Jilin, the provincial government strengthened the pandemic prevention controls, according to the Changchun CC&TSPM.
Since the outbreak in late January, all 358 churches in the city have been closed.
A co-worker from the Changchun CC&TSPM said that local churches should prepare for a constant battle against the virus and pastor congregations so they are secure against heresies and cults.
