President Trump said Friday that he wanted state governors to allow the nation’s houses of worship to reopen “right now” despite the ongoing health risks from the coronavirus pandemic posed by large gatherings of people.
“Today I’m identifying houses of worship — churches, synagogue and mosques — as essential places that provide essential services,” Trump told reporters gathered in the White House press briefing room. “Some governors have deemed liquor stores and abortion clinics as essential, but have left out churches and other houses of worship. That’s not right.”
In the past week, Catoosa Baptist Tabernacle in Ringgold, Ga., and Holy Ghost Catholic Church in Houston, Texas, suspended services after parishioners and church leaders tested positive for COVID-19 following their reopening. On Tuesday, the Justice Department warned Calif. Gov. Gavin Newsom that the state’s reopening plan discriminates against churches because it restricts in-person services to prevent further spread of the virus.
