Ammon News - AMMONNEWS - President of Jordan Churches Council, Bishop Christophoros Attallah, announced churches will reopen to worshipers on Sunday, June 7, taking into account public safety measures.

Speaking during a joint press conference with the Ministers of Media Affairs, , Health, Awqaf and Islamic Affairs held at the Prime Ministry, on Thursday, Bishop Atallah said prayer resumption requires a commitment to public safety measures to dodge any setbacks in the fight against Covid-19.

Atallah asked people who had underlying health issues and the elderly to stay home and avoid attending church prayers to protect themselves and the public.

On the mechanisms to implement the reopening decision, he said the Council will hold a meeting next Saturday to discuss the procedures that will be applied with the prayers resumption in all churches.
