<p>Following publication on 11 May of “Our Plan to Rebuild”, which outlined the steps
we would be taking to ease the lockdown restrictions, the Government launched a Places
of Worship Taskforce to look at how places of worship can reopen and operate safely.</p><p>The
Secretary of State and I have held a series of meetings with the Taskforce as well
as holding faith-specific roundtables to hear the views of our faith leaders on how
our places of worship can reopen. This is to ensure that those who visit and those
who work there are protected as far as possible. The Government is working with the
Taskforce as we develop guidance for our faith communities on the safe reopening of
our places of worship. This will include guidance on individual prayer, and services
and ceremonies such as weddings. This will be published in due course.</p><p> </p>
