Description
Churches, mosques and voodoo temples are deserted in Togo's capital Lome after the government announced the closure of all places of worship for one month, following a "worrying upsurge" in coronavirus cases in recent weeks. However, the Archdiocese of Lomé said in a statement that it had obtained special dispensation for "several important religious ceremonies" due to take place this weekend. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
