Other Questions
You are required to wear a face cover to enter in the building. Executive Order 61 states that “persons attending religious services must strongly consider wearing face coverings over their nose and mouth at all times.” Executive Order 63 gives additional guidance on face coverings including stating that “Face coverings may be removed to participate in a religious ritual.” Among other things, Executive Order 63 exempts face coverings for “children under 10,” “those who have trouble breathing,” “persons with health conditions that prohibit wearing a face covering, or if doing so would be contrary to his or her health or safety because of a medical condition.”
