Don't Close Places Of Worship throughout the lockdown.
Don't Close Places Of Worship
Places of worship have already been taking responsible precautions in terms of social distancing, wearing of masks and sanitation to prevent the spread of the virus therefore what is the evidence to suggest that private prayer in a place of worship is safe, Not being able to attend collective acts of worship will have a detrimental impact on the mental health and wellbeing of so many, the government is duty-bound to explain the justification behind this decision.
