Church gatherings
Churches and all other like buildings be allowed to open.
Why the contribution is important
Churches are ideally sized for " social distancing " in that pews can be blocked off to a 2 metre (or more) rule, Catholic churches had already refrained from Holy water font use, and ceased the practice of wishing each neighbour a Peace symbol (shaking of hands) replacing it with a bowing of the head to a fellow worshipper. The practice of receiving Communion can be overcome by worshippers taking their own "Eucharist" from a remote paten/plate.

I would suggest possibly Sacraments like weddings and baptisms could be allowed with small groups (10?) as funerals are now.

For larger congregations there are many simple ways to do this eg. if your surname is A-M come one week, N-Z come the next week. But individual congregations could work out the best policy for their specific group.
