The Temple Department of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints released a statement Friday, Jan. 14, reminding patrons about safety protocols and capacity limits to help keep temple ordinances available as the omicron variant surges.
“We ask temple patrons to follow all health and safety protocols and to not attend the temple if they have COVID-19 symptoms or have recently been exposed to the virus,” the statement reads.
