SALT LAKE CITY — The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is continuing to reopen its temples on a limited basis as local governments ease restrictions brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The church’s plan is for temples to reopen in four phases, with the first phase offering only living husband-and-wife sealings with minimum staff and participants, including the bride, the groom and a limited number of healthy guests.

All Latter-day Saint temples were closed on March 25 due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The first 17 temples reopened on May 11. The list grew to 34 one week later on May 18.

As community health restrictions lift in different locations, each temple will advance to a new phase:

• Phase 1 — Living husband-and-wife sealings by appointment
• Phase 2 — All living ordinances by appointment
• Phase 3 — All living and limited proxy ordinances by appointment
• Phase 4 — All normal operations

The church has created a document to track the progress of each temple.

Correction: An earlier version incorrectly stated all temples closed on May 25. They closed on March 25.
