"Caloocan Archbishop Pablo David said in a statement that both the penitents and priests should wear masks inside or outside the confessional box.

He said penitents can also confess by writing their sins on a piece of paper and handing this to the priest after saying, “‘Bless me, Father for I have sinned.’”

56 people are under observation for possible coronavirus in the Philippines.

The Philippines is a country in East Asia with 100 million people, 85% of whom are Catholics.
