That said, many #religious educators have questions. Among them: Would #schools be able to give preference in #admissions to #students from the schools’ stated religious affiliation? Would they be allowed to continue hiring & firing employees based on #religion? Would #government #academic requirements take up so much of the school day that there’s not enough left for religious instruction?

Hospitals in the United States will soon be required to report hospital #admissions related to #COVID19 restoring a #mandate which was lifted earlier this year, according to federal officials. The new rules are due to take effect on November 1.
