As of Sunday afternoon, California had more than 78,800 cases of coronavirus, according to data from Johns Hopkins University. More than 3,200 people in the state have died. Gov. Gavin Newsom's stay-at-home order prohibited gatherings of any size when it went into effect in March. While the state has started to lift some restrictions in a phased reopening, in-person religious gatherings remain prohibited until a later stage.
In one case in Sacramento County last month, 71 people connected to a single church were later infected with the coronavirus. North Carolina began easing restrictions under a three-phase reopening plan beginning May 8. In the first phase, gatherings are limited to 10 people, including indoor services. Guidance from Cooper's office had said there would not be limits on outdoor worship services but attendees should follow social distancing as much as possible.
