Speaking at a press conference on Friday, US President, Trump said: “Today I’m identifying houses of worship — churches, synagogues and mosques — as essential places that provide essential services.”
Health agencies have generally advised people to avoid large gatherings amid the pandemic, but Trump stressed the importance of places of worship in the community and compared them with other places that hadn’t been shut down.
He added: “Some governors have deemed liquor stores and abortion clinics as essential” but not churches, he said It’s not right. So I’m correcting this injustice and calling houses of worship essential.”
