3. Keep PHYSICAL DISTANCE – 1,5 metre space around each person, with the exception of people from the same household. ONLY sitting in the places MARKED on the pews. Do not enter if there are no more marked spots available.

Please look for medical assistance:

• If you have a fever (37.5°C/higher) or recent history of fever (night sweats, chills) or respiratory symptoms – cough, shortness of breath (difficulty breathing), sore throat, loss of smell or loss of taste – even mild. Other reported symptoms of COVID-19 include fatigue, runny nose, muscle pain, joint pain, diarrhoea, nausea/vomiting and loss of appetite.
• In the past 2 weeks been in contact with someone COVID-19 positive or visited a COVID-19 ‘hot spot’

Fortunately also, we have been able to provide a video link from the Church to the Parish hall, so we are able to seat more parishioners in the hall for Mass. At the time of Communion, an Acolyte will come to the hall to distribute Communion.

Please see our bulletins for more NEWS and MASS TIMES.
