<p>The Government recognises that singing is a key part of our cultural and religious
life. We have published Guidance for the Safe Use of Places of Worship during COVID-19
which provides advice on singing within places of worship: <a href="https://gbr01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gov.uk%2Fgovernment%2Fpublications%2Fcovid-19-guidance-for-the-safe-use-of-places-of-worship-during-the-pandemic-from-4-july&data=02%7C01%7CKamalpreet.Rana%40communities.gov.uk%7C5177ef58c88c424912f808d828922f2c%7Cbf3468109c7d43dea87224a2ef3995a8%7C0%7C0%7C637303955599823283&sdata=fZXB2PfDODHTnzkFF6Qnbgfo4ttmJ3tqL9Kxbi7Dtsw%3D&reserved=0"

. The Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport has also published guidance
for people who work in performing arts, including organisations, venue operators and
participants: <a href="https://gbr01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gov.uk%2Fguidance%2Fworking-safely-during-coronavirus-covid-19%2Fperforming-arts&data=02%7C01%7CKamalpreet.Rana%40communities.gov.uk%7C5177ef58c88c424912f808d828922f2c%7Cbf3468109c7d43dea87224a2ef3995a8%7C0%7C0%7C637303955599823283&sdata=SgggugFPOjxZ39nSRqDswO3q4tXah4aFA6GDP0jEiIw%3D&reserved=0"

. Singing is a central element of many religious practices but poses a particular
risk of spreading the virus. The Government and medical and scientific communities
are urgently engaged in research around transmission risk and how activities such
as singing and chanting can be managed safely indoors, by congregations and by amateurs.</p>
