Operative words

WHEREAS, certain gatherings - including religious services and political activity - are particularly important to the functioning of the State and of society, and while such gatherings must be limited to the same degree as any other during periods of especially high community transmission, at a time during which COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations, and the rate of reproduction is lower, the restrictions on these gatherings can be relaxed... 1. No indoor gathering may take place in the State, whether on public or private property, unless it adheres to all of the following rules: a. The number of individuals at the gathering shall be limited to 25% of the capacity of the room in which it takes place, but regardless of the capacity of the room, such limit shall never be larger than 50 persons or smaller than 10 persons; b. All attendees at the gathering must wear face coverings at all times except where doing so would inhibit the individual's health or where the individual is under two years of age;... 2.... f. Where the number of individuals at the gathering is 25 persons or fewer, the gathering is not required to comply with Paragraphs 2(a)-(e) of this Order. Where the outdoor gathering is a religious service or political activity, such as a protest, the gathering is not required to comply with Paragraphs 2(a)-(e) of this Order.
