Covid-safe arrangements
and lockdown-easing policies


Latest full review and looking to the future - 7 April 2021


Covid-safe precautions include social distancing, hand hygiene, one‑way circulation, face coverings (on the same basis as retail locations), and special arrangements around holy communion

People are welcome to attend whether or not they choose to receive holy communion

The Prayer for a Spiritual Communion will be said for those who choose not to receive communion

Regulations require that a register of attenders is taken at each service – if anyone at the service later tests positive for the virus, others who were present might be contacted by NHS test‑and‑trace and asked to self‑isolate

If the vicar is asked to self‑isolate, further services in church (rather than online) might be impractical for the following two weeks

The arrangements will continue to be reviewed regularly as the situation develops
