Supreme Court ruling eases church capacity restrictions January 08 2021
Local churches weigh in on the affect of the recent change from OHA s risk guidance chart on capcity in faith-based institutions
A recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling has trickled down to Oregon faith-based institutions and has subsequently also filtered down to local churches.
The result of the ruling came from a series of recent court decisions arising from other states that challenged limited gatherings in faith-based institutions of 10 or 25 people per religious gathering in areas with high COVID-19 transmission. At the same time, secular activities like acupuncture facilities, campgrounds, plants manufacturing chemicals and microelectronics, and transportation facilities had no capacity limits.
