San Francisco officials are relaxing their regulation limiting churches to one congregant per indoor service, after the Department of Justice called the edict “draconian” and “wholly out of step with this nation’s understanding of religious liberty.”

Mayor London Breed said Sept. 29 that, beginning today, churches could host up to 50 people for indoor worship meetings, but she warned that the more restrictive regulation would be restored if CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus infections increase following relaxation of the one-congregant rule.
