Poll: Will you watch a religious service online over Easter?

Many people who planned to attend religious services to mark Easter over the coming days will be unable to do so as a result of the restrictions.
A number of places of worship have started to stream masses or other services online in recent weeks so people can pray remotely with their community if they so wish.
