On 5 August, the Church of England issued the following interim advice on the use of face covering during services in the form of two updated FAQs: Who needs to wear a face covering during services? in Prayer and Worship section; and Who needs to wear a face covering during weddings? in Life Events section. The Church notes:
“These updates reflect our understanding of guidance currently being prepared by government; we are grateful to have been part of that process. We will update our detailed guidance documents once the government has published the revised regulations and guidance.”
