As America attempts to stem the spread of coronavirus and flatten the curve, there’s a challenging balancing act in making sure the public is protected and the first amendment is respected.

In a recent press conference, Mayor Bill de Blasio used alarming language directed at houses of worship, saying they could face “permanent” closure for failure to comply with pandemic restrictions.

Jeremy Dys, special counsel for First Liberty Institute, joined Faithwire to explain what the government can and can’t do during a situation like the one we currently find ourselves in and also offers a response to de Blasio’s ‘permanent’ closure comment. You can watch the interview above.
