Places of worship across the country will be permitted to reopen from August 1 under updated COVID-19 emergency measures that have been gazetted as part of phase four of Guyana’s reopening.
The updated measures, which will be in effect from August 1st to August 15th, will see places of religious worship opened for religious services and gatherings, including the conduct of funerals and weddings.
However, gatherings are restricted to 25% of the building capacity and where there are multiple services, there should be no less than forty-five minutes between each service to allow for sanitisation and cleaning of the facilities. All guidelines that were implemented by the Health Ministry to slow the spread of COVID-19 must be followed.
