Slowing the spread of COVID requires whole communities to work together, whatever their differences in opinion, for a common cause… but what do you do with a group that won’t play ball, regardless of penalties imposed?

A community in Calgary, Alberta, is the latest to grapple with that ongoing problem.

In a recent health inspection, Alberta Health Services (AHS) found that church services at Calgary’s Fairview Baptist Church were proceeding above safe capacity, without proper social distancing and with virtually no participants wearing face masks. Inspectors also found that the church made no efforts to disinfect high-touch surfaces between services.
