Sodaba Haidare looks at how different faiths will change post pandemic.

Community is one of main features of religion - but coronavirus has disrupted that. Religious institutions are going through significant changes in response to the coronavirus. But what of these changes will remain and what will organised religion look like post pandemic? Could the virus change the future of worship? 
 
Sodaba Haidare looks at how different faiths will change post pandemic and asks is there still a place for religious buildings and congregational prayer?

Produced by: Athar Ahmed and Nalini Sivathasan
