Church officials update local COVID-19 guidelines

SALT LAKE CITY — The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has updated its COVID-19 guidelines.

The First Presidency told members Friday that local presidencies should determine, on a local basis, if masks and other COVID precautions should be used at church-sponsored activities.

The church advised local leaders to consider the guidance of health officials when making these decisions. The church also said masks are still required for temple visitors.
