Starting Friday, June 5 houses of worship in Anne Arundel County may increase their limits on attendance in accordance with Governor Larry Hogan’s order. A 50% occupancy limit will be enacted, and individual worshippers or families must keep a six foot distance and wear masks.
Nobody cares more about the health and safety of worshippers than their own leaders. The Center for Disease Control has been very cautious about indoor worship, and I have been as well. What I learned last Thursday in a Zoom call with 60 pastors, rabbis, and imams is that they will do this responsibly, and are eager to have guidelines that protect their congregations.
