Shepherd Superintendent of the Household of God Church, Rev Chris Okotie, says members of his church will not resume congregational worship on Sunday, August 9, 2020.
This was contained in a statement released by the church on Thursday titled, ‘Why We Can’t Wear Mask mIn Church’.
Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu had last week okayed the reopening of worship centres in the state effective August 7 after over four months of closure due to lockdown occasioned by the coronavirus pandemic. The governor had approved that Muslim faithful could start attending congregational worships in mosques from Friday while Christians could also start attending physical church services from Sunday.
Sanwo-Olu also advised worshippers to obey health protocol during services including physical distancing, use of face masks and good hygiene practice.The clergy, who stressed that though it is imperative to curb the spread of the virus by obeying all safety protocol including the use of masks, however, said “the wearing of masks or face shields was unacceptable” during worship services.
The global health coordination agency stressed that the use of face masks is important to prevent person-to-person transmission of the virus because “COVID-19 virus is primarily transmitted between people via respiratory droplets and contact routes.
