Many have a fear that by opening up places of worship, the virus might spread faster.
A concerned tweep went on to say: "President Cyril has reached the level of "What you want is what you get and if you die you die" #ChurchIsEssential"
Another said: "Itβs up to the people to protect themselves from CoronaVirus because the government has given up. Otherwise RiP in advance. #backtoschool #ChurchIsEssential"
These really are confusing times, because as much as religion is important, so is your life and those of your loved ones.Β
Do you think you'll be brave enough to attend your first religious service when level 3 starts?

Well, you're going to meet God quicker than you expected #ChurchIsEssential
