She wants, I think, the communication from your church leaders and the info about your government directives so she can compare dates, etc.

Tacenda, he would have to say where he lived and given his work, he shouldn't, imo.

That the church shut down before the others.

We received the letter from the Church banning all gatherings on 13 March. Our government didn’t start restricting indoor gatherings till 18 March, with restrictions impacting Church meetings not issued till 29 March. At that point, we’d just finished our third Sunday of home-based church.

There's probably a lot of places where the church shut down before the government told them to.  For reference, the church sent out the world wide letter on March 12 (see https://newsroom.churchofjesuschrist.org/article/gatherings-worldwide-temporarily-suspended).

You can find out when various locations stopped mass gatherings (which generally includes churches) at https://covid19.healthdata.org.  Here's a sampling of locations that are after the letter:

Alabama - March 19 (7 days after the letter)

Arizona - March 30 (18 days after the letter)

Texas - March 21 (9 days after the letter)

Iceland - March 16 (4 days after the letter)

Berlin, Germany - March 23 (11 days after the letter)

Denmark - March 18 (6 days after the letter)

British Columbia, Canada - March 16 (4 days after the letter)

Thanks! Sorry you had to take time out of your day for my lazy request.

The Church had already started shutting down gatherings in Asian nations before that as well. One of my former housemates served in Japan and learnt through a Facebook group that all Church meetings there had been suspended long before 12 March. I just tried to scroll back and find the date, but he posts too much stuff ...

ETA: With help, I found the post. The Church suspended all gatherings in Japan on 26 February. (Well, that's the date of the post on Facebook by a member mentioning it.)
