Mumbai: For Christmas mass services to be held on December 24 and 25, churches across Mumbai have made it mandatory for all attendees to wear masks and maintain distancing, as precautionary measures against Covid-19. Hand sanitisers will be provided and body temperature checks will be initiated at every church. Communion for Christians will be offered outside the church.
In a letter to the churches of Mumbai, Oswald Cardinal Gracias, Archbishop of Bombay, has asked them to follow all the standard operating procedures (SOPs) and safety measures against Covid-19 during the Christmas and New Year s eve mass services. The archbishop stated, To facilitate attendance at Christmas Mass, more than one vigil mass may be celebrated in our churches. Distribution of Holy Communion at a suitable place outside the church seems to be the best option at present.
