COVID:19 CAN Issues Updated Guide To Churches

The Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN has issued an updated guide to churches for meetings in the wake of the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic.

A statement issued by CAN General Secretary, Barrister Joseph Daramola appealed to churches to observe the guidelines while at the same time praying for an end to the pandemic.

The guidelines issued on Monday read thus:

• There should be no entry without facemasks. All worshippers including the worship leaders must wear  face masks.  There should be no exceptional cases.

• People who are sick or too old should stay at home. There should be temperature screening at every entry point to the Church.

. Ensure adequate ventilation in halls of worship, open windows, and doors for air to circulate in and out freely and if possible avoid the use of air conditioners

• Hand washing facilities and hand sanitizers should be provided at point of entries and strategic points within the Church premises.

• Attendance should not exceed 1/3 of the sitting capacity of every Church. Churches can make use of their educational facilities and multi purpose halls to avoid overcrowding in the main church auditorium.

• Church auditorium should be clearly marked such that people sit and maintain two metres distance from each other

Updated Guide To Churches In The Wake Of Second Wave

• There should be no form of direct contact. Practices such as handshakes as peace signs are discouraged.

. Sanitizers should be made available in all the rest rooms.

• Practices that require sharing of materials should be limited. Those using microphones must sanitise their hands before use.

• Worship places should be disinfected routinely, before and after worship.

. Ensure separate entry and exit points in every Church to avoid overcrowding at entry and exit points.

. Every church should make use of medical personnel to assist.

. We should be praying for the end of the pandemic in all our worships and very soon, it will become history in Jesus Name.

The updated guide to churches is expected to help in stemming the spike arising from the second wave of the pandemic.
