Abstract

The guidelines from the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) and Cal/OSHA provide recommendations and strategies for places of worship during the COVID-19 pandemic. The guidelines discuss issues such as in-person services, the use of masks, ceremonies such as funerals, virtual worship, disinfecting, and social distancing. The role of material culture, such as the use of books, pamphlets, and communal water, is also discussed.
