COVID-19: Welsh Govt challenged for closing churches in lockdown
The Welsh Government has been challenged over its decision to close churches as part of its measures to combat the coronavirus.
Places of worship in Wales will be closed until 9 November, along with pubs, restaurants and non-essential shops.
But Darren Millar, MS for Clwyd West, said churches should be recognised as “essential” and that many church leaders had contacted him expressing their “utter dismay” at the authorities’ decision.
