California County Threatens to Jail Worship Teams Over Online Church Services
04-16-2020
Mendocino County in Northern California is restricting churches from streaming worship singing and the playing of wind instruments in online church services unless the worship originates from individual residences.
The order issued by the Mendocino County Board of Supervisors states, “No singing or use of wind instruments, harmonicas, or other instruments that could spread COVID-19 through projected droplets shall be permitted unless the recording of the event is done at one’s residence, and involving only the members of one’s household or living unit, because of the increased risk of transmission of COVID-19.”
The County Board warns, “Violation of or failure to comply with this Order is a misdemeanor punishable by fine, imprisonment, or both.”
