see Parishioners adjust to coronavirus precautions at Sunday Mass - TheCatholicSpirit.com : TheCatholicSpirit.com

Those who attended mass “also wanted to do their part in not spreading the virus, so they avoided physical contact during the sign of peace, adjusted to not receiving Communion from the chalice, not having a choir as social distancing became more of a norm, and not dipping their hands into now-empty holy water fonts.”


Sunday mass at this church was normally packed with people.

This article mentions that they cleaned the pews afterward with Pine-Sol. Pine-Sol claims to kill 99.9% of germs, but the little asterisk beside the claim on their website lists only Salmonella enterica, stapholococcus aureus, and influenza A (Hong Kong strain). None of the ingredients have any real antiseptic properties. A 10% bleach solution like the hospitals use is better unless the pews have padding.
