The British Government said that in England and Wales places of worship will be allowed to open for private prayer from June 15. In Ireland public Masses are scheduled to restart on June 29.

David Quinn is a columnist for the Sunday Times' Irish edition and Mgr Mark Langham is Catholic chaplain to the University of Cambridge.
