Following the California Department of Public Health’s lifting of church closures due to the coronavirus this week, County health officials say local places of worship can now reopen, with certain guidelines to prevent continued spread of the virus.

Sacramento County Health Director Dr. Peter Beilenson said churches are OK to resume face to face services if they limit the number of attendees to either 25 percent of their building’s capacity or a maximum of 100 people, whichever is lower.

“The cathedral is closed, but we are continuing to do the work God has called us to do,” Bishop Lovelace said in a video he posted on the church’s website.

Rev. Anthony Sadler, pastor of Shiloh Baptist Church, says he’ll remain closed as well.

The Rev. Amos Brown, pastor of Third Baptist Church in San Francisco and head of the local NAACP chapter, led a protest Monday against reopening.
