COVID-19: guidance for the safe use of places of worship

On 10 December, the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC) updated guidance for the safe use of places of worship to reflect the new measures announced by the Prime Minister on 8 December to slow down the spread of the new Omicron variant.

DLUHC has also updated the guidance for councils, owners and operators to support the safe use and management of outdoor public places while the risk of COVID-19 transmission remains.
