...results in a sequence of temple closures

Post by tamguatlay »

The covid-19 pandemic results in a sequence of temple closures.

Is the sentence correct? Would it be better phrased as "... results in subsequent intermittent closures of the temple"?

Thanks.

Not really.

I would suggest sequence --> series.
