Abstract
Among 92 attendees at a church in rural Arkansas in early March, there were 35 confirmed cases of COVID-19, three deaths, and an additional 26 cases and one death linked in the community. Even as we learn more about the ease of spread in groups indoors, many churches and religious organizations are questioning the constitutionality of forced church closures during the pandemic. This Briefing describes the Religious Freedom Restoration Act in the context of COVID-19 and explores some of the recent cases challenging closures during the pandemic.
Description
The COVID-19 Law and Policy Briefings, hosted in two series from March 2020 through July 2021, feature US and international public health law experts discussing the biggest legal issues arising from the COVID-19 pandemic. The briefings are produced by the George Consortium, co-sponsored by the Center for Health Policy and Law at Northeastern University School of Law, the Center for Public Health Law Research at Temple University Beasley School of Law, and the APHA Law Section.
