(Boston, MA) As the Commonwealth starts to reopen amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, places of worship have been given the green light to go ahead and hold in person services once again. However, there are guidelines and restrictions in place to protect the public. Those guidelines include remaining at no more than 40% occupancy, keeping six feet apart from anyone not in your immediate household, fixed seating and blocked off rows to allow for social distancing, and one way isles. For the complete guidelines for places of worship put out by Governor Charlie Baker and the Reopening Committee, click here.
