Number of students should depend on the size of classroom, when hotels having over 500 accommodation are only allowed 100 guests. One of these need correction.

This is limiting the people who should worship God. So how do you choose. Depending on the bigger donations and bigger sacrifices made.

This is like saying Yes and at the same time No. You the public take the responsibility in case as we have given guide lines for us to be on the safe side.

Gods are ubiquitous; they live everywhere. People can worship their gods in their own homes without attending brick buildings.

How one 50? We see news telecast of politicos and media channels visiting places of worship much over that number? You meen religious purpose is limited to 50 and political gains unlimited?

I believe the places of worships should be allowed 50% of the capacity. For instance, some of the Christian Churches located in main cities in Western Province could easily accommodate 200 devotees, even if they accommodate just 2 devotees in each pew. Further, the Priest in charge should decide the number to be accommodated at Church services taking into consideration the Health Guidelines and the capacity of the building. However, I cannot understand the logic behind allowing Tuition Classes to accommodate 100 while restricting places of worships only 50.
