Open Places of Worship, under social distancing, when we enter risk level 3.
All Places of Worship should be allowed to open for private prayer and devotion, conduct under appropriate social distancing guidelines, at the earliest opportunity, and no later then Jane 1st, when country enters risk level 3, and other sector constraint
As we begin to relax conditions and open up normal life, particularly non-essential retail, there is no reason not to allow the public to enter places of Worship. Appropriate social distancing guidelines can be put in place, just as has been the case within a variety of environments, and people have demonstrated high levels of compliance.
There are significant risks to the mental health of a many people within the population, places of prayer can only aid many people's mental resilience.
