Re-open place of worship during this lockdown
The government have advised that place of worship should be closed again during this lockdown. Majority of Places of worship since reopening have deployed social distancing policies and complied with all covid measures such as sanitize, no interaction in with other member's and track & trace.
I urge the government to reconsider especially with them leaving schools/colleges open.
