		</div><p>Jerusalem’s Church of the Holy Sepulchre has reopened to visitors after a two-month closure due to the coronavirus pandemic.</p>
<p>The church, situated in Jerusalem’s Old City, is the site where many Christians believe Jesus was crucified, entombed, and resurrected.</p>
<p>The Christian authorities managing the site closed it to visitors in March to prevent the spread of Covid-19, but clerics maintained prayers inside the shuttered church throughout its closure.</p>
<p>On Sunday, church authorities limited entrance to 50 people at a time, and required that those entering the cavernous site maintain social distance and avoid touching any of the church’s stones, icons or other religious items.</p>
<p>A typical day before the virus outbreak would bring thousands of faithful who kissed or placed their hands along the church’s surfaces.</p>
<p>As priests from the various Christian sects entered the church, a handful of faithful waited outside for the basilica’s church to open for the public.</p>
<p>Israeli authorities have gradually reopened schools, houses of worship and markets as the spread of the virus has slowed.</p>
<p>Israel’s health ministry has reported over 16,700 confirmed cases of the disease and 279 deaths.</p>
<p>More than 14,000 have recovered.</p>
