It doesn't. There's nothing in the virus that is causing a church's officials to make any changes. The changes are not caused by the virus. Viruses just don't have that much power. The church officials are making the changes because they have agreed that it's the most appropriate and efficient way to get their worshippers in for services with the lowest risk given the circumstances.
That's not a virus causing changes. It's the human caution regarding a virus causing the changes.
A less "spun" headline might have been:
Places of Worship Enact Safety Changes Amidst COVID-19 Case Rise.

Thank you for this comment. I did not see this inflection when I posted it to the website, and that is of course my fault as editor. I'll make this adjustment.
