Little has changed except the restrictions on numbers has not returned. The usual precautions still apply. Some of the main points are as follows: Religious services and weddings can now proceed without capacity limits but with all other protective measures remaining in place, in particular:

• Get vaccinated. Vaccination offers the best protection for you, your family and for others against severe disease
• Stay at home and do not attend a service if you have symptoms of an infectious illness including COVID-19
• Get tested if advised to do so and self-isolate if required. This still applies after you have been fully vaccinated.
• Clean your hands thoroughly and regularly
• Wearing a face covering/mask is recommended in places of worship
• Congregants are advised not to gather immediately outside the door before or after the service.

Below are some guidelines related to funeral services

• Family members, mourners, religious leaders, and funeral staff (e.g. funeral director, hearse attendant, etc) should not attend a funeral if they have COVID-19, or if they have symptoms of COVID-19, are awaiting a COVID-19 test result, or have been told by public health to restrict movements. This includes close contact with the deceased if the cause of death is COVID-19 related.
• Any physical interactions including shaking of hands and hugging should be discouraged.
• Optimise social distancing throughout all aspects of the service
• Cloth face coverings or masks should be worn for all indoor services by all present.
• Guards of Honour must observe social distancing requirements.
• Those gathering at the graveside should optimise social distancing and wear face coverings/masks.
