If the State is opening schools, even at a rolled out slow pace, I do not see why they should not also allow shuls to open.
Obviously, anyone in a high risk group, due to being immuno-compromised or over a specific age, should be advised not to go. Anybody who is more concerned should not go. It should only be allowed, at first with maximum numbers of 20 or whatever, with distancing, open windows, disinfectant, and all other necessary requirements
But it should be allowed.
if the State is saying we think it is safe to have studies indoors, there is no logical reason to not also rollout the allowances for services in shuls, within guidelines.
Whether or not this is a good idea at all remains to be seen. I guess within two to three weeks from when the schools actually open, but there is no reason to test one and not the other.
