The COVID-19 pandemic and freedom of religion or belief
For many religious or belief communities, the Covid-19 pandemic had a significant impact - from closed places of worship and limited attendance at events such as weddings or funerals, to greater online activities and community mobilisation to offer aid to those in distress. While states can legally limit people's free exercise of their religion or belief to protect health and lives, such restrictions should be constantly reassessed as they can quickly outlive their purpose.
