When the world changed seemingly overnight as COVID-19 infiltrated the US, events were canceled with vigor and all but essential business operations came to a halt. Businesses across the country (film tours included) were forced to make some tough decisions. A big question people were asking was, “What now?”. The team at Bow Wow Film Fest took a few simple steps to answer that question.
Churches and religious organizations all over the world are facing challenges to re-opening their doors during the decline of the COVID-19 outbreak.
How do you do this safely?
Gathering restrictions have put caps on the number of people that can safely gather at one time. Gatherings of 50 or more people are still prohibited in a lot of states across the US. This means churches need capacity control measures and social distancing guidelines to safely resume church services in person.
Implementing a ticketing system and allowing your congregation to tune in online can solve all of these problems!
