Do they have to follow the same rules, or do they merely "have to" follow them? That is, is anybody going to actively go and break them up and arrest the pastors for disobeying this law, or are they just going to shake their fingers at them and go "tsk, tsk"?

Have to follow in the sense that I haven't heard police being called to break up anything yet, religious or not. But I live in strongly blue college town, and distancing is easier with most of twenty thousand students gone. I think I read about one church doing a drive in service, which seems reasonable to me.
