Hospital Chaplains Try to Keep the Faith During the Coronavirus Pandemic

This article goes into detail on how many “Chaplains” are keeping faith/ religiosity alive during the Corona Virus pandemic. Many individuals in the hospital who are ailing or have the Corona Virus are unable to have access to their religions, or any type of contact with religiosity. There are a select handful of individuals who will go into the hospitals infected with the coronavirus and bring religiosity to the sickly. Not only the sickly, but also bringing religiosity and faith to medical professionals or anyone who takes care of the sickly in the hospitals. This article outlines some of the work done by these people in the hospitals and what it means to them, and the people they are providing help for.
