COVID-19: places of worship and restrictions on social gatherings

09/09/2020

Following the announcement of new ‘rule of six’ restrictions to help limit the spread of coronavirus, the Bishop of London, Sarah Mullally, who chairs the Church of England’s recovery group, said:

“I welcome confirmation from the Prime Minister that places of worship can still hold more than six people in total, despite the new restrictions on gatherings, and the reassurance that public worship can continue.

“We will continue to work with the Government on specific areas relating to our churches and church-based activities.”
