Wearing Facemasks in Church

Following a number of calls regarding the above – the current understanding that the diocese has is that the wearing of facemasks is mandatory for shops and public places where people might be interacting within the recommended space of 2 metres.  However, in Churches, seeing that we are generally going to be outside the distance of 2 metres from each other – while it his highly recommended to wear a mask  our understanding is that it is not at this point mandatory.  This is the best guidance we have at present and if anything changes parishes will be informed.
