UK: No church and religious services due to virus

People have been invited to share prayers online with some services being streamed on social media.

Hundreds of church services and other religious ceremonies have been cancelled this weekend in response to the coronavirus crisis.

The Church in Wales suspended all public gatherings, including Mothering Sunday services, earlier this week.

The Muslim Council of Britain and the Roman Catholic church issued similar guidance.

Archbishop of Wales John Davies said prayers could be shared online, with some services being streamed.

"Churches are being encouraged to stay open during the day to offer space for people to pray in their own time, to find spiritual refreshment and reflection," he added.
