I really don’t know what to say about this. I have so much respect for Islam from countries I have lived in… and yet I really do not know what to say. So I’ll just say that in Canada, my daughter tells me, the churches are shut, so are all the shops, except grocery stores, bottles stores and weed shops. Nobody is complaining much in the small town she is stuck in.
Pete, In the USA state and local authorities are making most of the rules, so they vary from place to place, but in general churches are open for prayer and reflection, but services are cancelled.
