In a recent briefing to the Council of Priests, Cardinal John advised of the need to remain cautious during this pandemic. ‘As a recent victim of Covid-19, I am very aware we still need to take precautions to prevent its spread through parish activities. My experience has confirmed the importance of the restrictions we have lived with in parishes over the last two years. With recent relaxation of the restrictions, those who are vulnerable because of age or being immune compromised need our attention, as some are feeling very unsafe in our churches’. The Cardinal said, ‘I will not hesitate to reintroduce restrictions if there is an upsurge of cases in the community.’
