Practical advice for our Services this week as we continue to live with the reality of Covid-19
This week there have been a number of national announcements about how rules intended to combat the spread of Coronavirus are to be changed or dropped altogether.
However, many of these changes, notably to the rules related to the mandatory wearing of face masks in public places, come in from next week, specifically January 26/27. Therefore, for the time being, we would continue to ask Parishioners and others visiting our Churches to take sensible precautions, such as not attending Church if they are displaying Covid-19 symptoms and taking care over contact with others.
In addition, we would like to respectfully ask Parishioners and other people coming our Churches to consider the following specific advice:
Please abide by the decision to keep certain rows of pews empty to allow for physical distancing.
Wearing of face masks is mandatory when moving around the building and strongly encouraged when singing.
Arriving: please fill up from the front of the Churches as directed by the sidespeople.
Leaving: please leave in an unhurried way, starting with those nearest the exit, again as directed by the sidespeople.
Please save socialising and mingling until you are outside.
Thank you for your understanding.
