Kirtan and Simran

Kirtan can be performed safely with the Ragis shielded behind anti-bacterial plexiglass screens and sneeze guards The use of face masks for Kirtan would be prohibitive Plastic face shields as an additional measure to mitigate risk could be used The installation of suction extraction fans above the stage area or air purifiers could also be considered Congregational singing, eg. Simran, should be discouraged. Projecting voice and generating aerial particles is to be avoided
