Several Christian churches filed a lawsuit against Gov. Gavin Newsom on July 15, saying the California governor’s new guidelines that ban singing during indoor services violate their constitutional rights.
The California Department of Public Health announced guidelines on July 1 for places of worship and cultural ceremonies that mandate they must “discontinue indoor singing and chanting activities” and limit indoor attendance to 25 percent of building capacity or a maximum of 100 attendees, whichever is lower, to slow the spread of COVID-19.
