<p>The roadmap to reopening published on 22 February set out the steps by which restrictions
on activities will be lifted and the considerations that will determine the rate of
progress. Singing, playing some musical instruments, shouting and physical activity
increases the risk of transmission through small droplets and aerosols and the cumulative
effect of aerosol transmission means the more people involved, the higher the risk
of transmission. <br> <br> From 17 May, when Step 3 of the roadmap is taken, indoors
in a Place of Worship a group of up to 6 amateur singers can perform, or rehearse
for performance. There is no limit on the number of professional singers but they
should follow guidance for the performing arts. Outdoors, the congregation may join
in with singing in multiple groups of up to 30. Congregation members should continue
to follow social distancing rules. A decision on whether to allow larger performances
and communal singing in a place of worship will be taken as we approach Step 4 of
the roadmap, no earlier than 21 June.</p>
