New restrictions. Changes in the Churches. There is a new limit of the faithful
On Wednesday, the government announced the introduction of new restrictions. The changes concern, among others the limit of the faithful in churches during holy masses and other liturgical celebrations.
New restrictions. New guidelines in Churches
During the press conference on Wednesday, November 4, Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki announced that the regulation introducing new restrictions across the country would enter into force. The changes also concern the activities of churches. Due to the spreading coronavirus pandemic, a new limit of the faithful attending masses and liturgical celebrations has been introduced.
The Chancellery of the Prime Minister informed that one person per 15 square meters will be allowed in the churches. This is a new, stricter limit to reduce the risk of contracting coronavirus. This means that even fewer believers will be able to take part in the masses than today. The prime minister also appealed to the oldest people to stay at home.
Broadcasting of Holy Masses on TV
“If a religious event takes place in a church, there is an obligation to cover the mouth and nose, with the exception of people worshiping” – we read on the gov.pl website. The new restrictions are to protect Poland from a complete lockdown. National quarantine is a last resort, but “only one step away” from it. “We want to protect the health service, we want to protect medics so that they can continue to heal people” – Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said during the Wednesday press conference.
Broadcasts of the Holy Masses will be available on TV on Sunday. You will be able to watch them, among others, on TVP1, TV Trwam or TVP Polonia.
