In 2020, Kentucky State Police arrived at an Easter service to issue notices that attendance was criminal. In Mississippi, police issued citations to a church congregation that hosted a drive-in service despite attendees remaining in their vehicles for the service.
Covid Response at Five Years: Religion Read Journal Article
Neither candidate has any reason to bring up the issue of the pandemic response.
