California Bans Singing And Chanting In Places Of Worship Amid Coronavirus Pandemic
While the number of COVID-19 cases continue to rise, California is placing more restrictions to flatten the curve.
The state has temporarily banned singing and chanting in places of worship after learning more details from health officials about the transmission of coronavirus.
“Practices and performances present an increased likelihood for transmission of Covid-19 through contaminated exhaled droplets and should occur through alternative methods like internet streaming,” the state’s Department of Public Health announced in an order Wednesday.
According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, singing at services has proven to be one way of spreading the virus.
According to CNN, California has had more than 24,000 coronavirus cases. On Tuesday, it announced 6,367 cases, the second highest total for the state since the pandemic began.
