I’m not too sure this will effect Mass, I sure hope it won’t.

Businesses and places of worship have had to put safety procedures in place to reduce the risk of contracting Covid. Private homes and gatherings haven’t and the tone seems more geared towards them.

Plus at the moment gatherings of more than two households indoors are still banned. This right now doesn’t apply to places of worship so there is no reason to think it will be extended to them.

They are making an announcement today I think, with further details or exemptions. So in the nicest possible way I hope you are wrong

Good news - there are no new restrictions on public worship. Mass can carry on as it has been doing.

Thank God for that. Parishioners were just starting to come back to our local church!

Same here, slowly but surely.
