Press Release from Newsroom.
Update: On March 29, 2021, five temples will begin Phase 2, 13 temples will start in Phase 2-B, and three temples will pause operations.
Since May 2020, temples of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints have been reopening in a cautious, careful way, in four phases and based on local circumstances and governmental restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Temples in the first three phases are operating on a limited basis. Key precautions are in place for temple workers and patrons, including masks worn at all times, limited numbers of patrons in the temple at a time, minimal staff in the temple, sanitization after each temple ceremony, careful social distancing and seating arrangements, and temperature checks at the entrance.
The four phases of opening reduce risk, accommodate the demand and capacity of the temple and observe health restrictions in the temple district.
Phase 1: Living husband-and-wife sealings by appointment
- Perform living sealings only for previously endowed members under strict guidelines and safety precautions
Phase 2: Open for all living ordinances only with restrictions
- Perform all temple ordinances for living individuals, with priority given for those who will be sealed. The next priority will be endowments for in-field missionaries (who left home prior to receiving their endowment), then followed by those departing for missionary service. These priorities will be addressed according to the capacity and scheduling ability of each temple.
- Maintain closure of patron housing, clothing and cafeteria operations
Phase 2-B: Open for all living ordinances and baptisms for deceased individuals with restrictions
- The same as Phase 2, with the added function of the temple baptistry open for small groups — particularly for those with a limited-use temple recommend
Phase 3: Open for all ordinances with restrictions
- Continue performing ordinances for living individuals
- Perform limited ordinances on behalf of deceased individuals
- Open patron housing, clothing and cafeteria operations as needed
Read more details about Phase 3 of temple operations.
Phase 4: Open for full operations
- Resume regular temple operations
