As Idaho prepares to start it’s four-part reopening process, there are many unknowns. “Phase 1” starts tomorrow, bringing with it the opportunity for places of worship to reopen, following social distancing and health guidelines.

But restaurants, bars, gyms, salons and other places where people gather will remain closed until later phases. That’s made some of our listeners wonder: why can churches reopen when other organizations can’t, and what will services look like following the new rules? 

 

Joining Idaho Matters to share some of his reporting on this topic is Boise State Public Radio reporter Troy Oppie.
