A day after state parks reopen, the first step in Gov. Greg Abbott’s effort to start up the Texas economy again, officials give the OK for in-person religious services to resume.

Updated guidelines to churches soften previous restrictions. The letter released Tuesday afternoon states houses of worship should conduct services remotely when possible while clarifying the government is making only recommendations.

The revised rule gives the green light for churches to allow gatherings while maintaining social distancing.
