Religious institutions should provide soap and hand sanitizer, encourage the use of cloth masks and clean their facilities daily if they want to open while coronavirus is still spreading, the CDC says in newly released guidance
Churches, synagogues, mosques and other institutions should also promote social distancing and consider limiting the sharing of objects such as books and hymnals, the CDC said.The new guidance comes at the urging of the White House, which has been in a tug-of-war with the CDC over pandemic guidance.
While initial arguments between the CDC and the Health and Human Services Department's Office of Civil Rights were over references to hymnal books and communion cups, according to an official involved, the new guidance explicitly references multiple religious objects.
