Bountiful Temple among latest closures on Sunday night; more than half of Latter-day Saint temples now closed

SALT LAKE CITY — The Bountiful Utah Temple and all five Australian temples are closed, according to a new update by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

They were among 13 new temple closures announced Sunday night, bringing the total to 88. That means that more than half of the church’s 168 temples around the world are now closed as the church continues to follow recommendations by government and health agencies in the effort to reduce the spread of COVID-19.

The Bountiful closure marked the first in Utah. The other latest closures included the Baton Rouge Louisiana Temple, the Columbus Ohio Temple, the Halifax Nova Scotia Temple, the Kinshasa DR Congo Temple, the Regina Saskatchewan Temple, the Santiago Chile Temple and the St. Louis Missouri Temple.

The Australian temples closed in Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth and Sydney.

Most of the temples that remain open are performing living ordinances only. The church announced Wednesday that those temples will not schedule living ordinances for members traveling from another state, province or region during the pandemic.

That means members living in states, provinces or regions where all temples are closed may need to postpone temple weddings, known as sealings, effective immediately. The same is true for live endowments, with one exception for missionaries entering the mission field.

Now, men and women with a mission call who live in a state, province or region where all temples are closed may enter the mission field without receiving their endowment if they are going to an area where a temple can provide living endowments.

The church suspended all proxy work at its temples on March 16.
