According to her, in most churches, services will be held in the evening and the morning of the following day. Some communities plan to conduct night services. Believers are advised to consider the restrictions related to martial law.

The police representative stated that law enforcement officers understand situations when people are forced to leave churches at night, but urged believers to plan their stay in advance so that they can remain in church throughout the entire night if possible.
