The government has announced that from Monday 15th June, places of worship will be permitted to open for individual prayer in line with social distancing guidelines

There will be guidance around cleaning of shared spaces, hand cleaning at entry and exit points, and asking worshippers to bring their own items such as prayer mats or religious texts instead of using communal items.

Communally led prayer or worship will not be permitted at this time, including services, informal prayer meetins, Mass, Jummah or Kirtan. The government is continuing to work with the Places of Worship Taskforce to reopen places of worship fully as soon as the scientific advice allows.
