California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Monday released guidelines for reopening houses of worship amid the coronavirus pandemic, after President Trump deemed them “essential” last week.

Under the governor’s guidelines, churches and other houses of worship can reopen if they are given approval from county health officials, but must limit attendance to 25 percent of capacity or 100 people, whichever is less.

In order to reopen, churches in California must set physical-distancing guidelines, establish new cleaning and disinfection protocols, encourage all to wear face masks and set parameters for singing and group recitations.

That’s slick of him given many churches in the state were going to defy the governor and hold Sunday services next week. He can say now, “They didn’t defy me. I allowed them to open.”

And they must all worship Baal, without which they will not be allowed to reopen, ever.

So, is there any meaningful difference between the CDC guidance for religious activity and the California guidelines ...

Another question is what science was cited by the Ninth Circuit as the basis for its opinion regarding the designation of religious activity as essential?

Yet another case of the liberal mantra that "one size fits all". Our church in Arizona restarted meeting physically last Sunday. They determined that they could meet the 6 foot guidelines and still allow 200 to attend. And we do not have a particularly large auditorium.

Forcing everyone to wear a mask? How the hell are you supposed to sing? The choir will be making muffled noises. This is outrageous! No government official has this kind of power. Ignore it to the hilt.

Libs unmasked. You do not regulate how, when or where I worship. Some thing are not negotiable.
