The First Minister made an announcement this afternoon about restrictions in the light of Omicron.
In her speech she said that places of worship will remain open, but that appropriate mitigations will need to be in place.
Throughout her speech she emphasised that more details will be published over the next few days, so I will update parishes when we know what the mitigations are.
The First Minister also recommended that socialising should be minimised, which again impacts on the advisability of Christmas parties etc., and that if socialisation does go ahead groups should not involve more than three households.
Priests are encouraged to test regularly and to encourage parishioners to do the same.
