(Premier Christian News)The Government has explained what evidence it has on the danger of singing and suggested guidelines for making it safer.
Communal singing in churches has not been allowed since before the lockdown. When churches began to meet physically again in the summer, only a small group of singers were allowed to lead the worship from the front – bands and choirs have been allowed to continue singing for online broadcasts since restrictions returned across the UK.
Many Christians have lamented the lack of singing over the past eight months and claim there isn’t much evidence to support its ban. Scientists have said speaking at a loud volume produces a similar amount of aerosol droplets to singing, which could contain the virus, and that the risk is linked to the volume and length of speaking or singing.
