Dear All,

COVID-19 Worship Regulations

We hope that latest by the first week in June, we would be back in churches nationwide.

The suggested guidelines.

1. Churches should disinfect their premises first before they are reopened for services .

2. Churches should provide alcoholic sanitizers, temperature readers, soap and water in their Premises to be supervised by medical professionals in the Church.

3. Every worshipper must either use soap to wash their hands or apply sanitizers.

4. The temperature  of every worshipper must be taken before admission into the church and people with the high temperature should not be allowed into the church but be advised to go and see their doctors. 

5. Every worshipper must wear facemask. 

6. Social distancing should be observed in the sitting arrangement with one meter gap between two worshippers.

7. One and a half hour service is enough for a start.

8. There should  be a gap of 25 or 30 minutes between one service and another where there are multiple services to avoid crowd.

9. Churches can make use of classrooms and multipurpose halls for services where available, especially in big churches in order to accommodate more worshippers at a go. TV circuit and speakers can be used for those who are not inside the main auditorium.

10. Handshaking and hugging should be avoided before, during and after the service. 

11. Prayers should be offered to God for a speedy end of COVID-19 and quick recovery of all that are afflicted by the pandemic. Prayers should also be offered for those frontline workers for divine protection. 

12. CAN in each state and local government should constitute a committee together with law enforcement agencies in their area to enforce full compliance. Such civilian compliance officials should be given backing by the governments to apprehend those who contravene the worship regulations and hand them over to law enforcement agents.

13. Churches observing Holy Communion service should use separate cup for each participant.

Thank you for the anticipated prompt response.

For the King,

Rev. Dr. Samson O. A. Ayokunle 

CAN President

Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers revealed Friday he “had no strength” after contracting the coronavirus in March.

The Northern Irish boss is the second Premier League manager to confirm he had suffered from COVID-19 after Arsenal’s Mikel Arteta also tested positive in March.

“I could hardly walk and it reminded me of walking up Mount Kilimanjaro,” Rodgers told BBC Radio Leicester.

“We had a week off when we were supposed to play Watford (on March 14) and then the week after that, I started to struggle.”

The 47-year-old former Liverpool and the Celtic manager added his wife had contracted the virus as well.

“For three weeks I had no smell or taste. I had no strength, and a week after, my wife was the same.

“We were tested and both of us were detected with the virus.”

England’s top-flight clubs have agreed on a provisional restart date of June 17 after the season was postponed in March due to the outbreak, with Leicester currently third behind runaway leaders Liverpool and reigning champions Manchester City.
