Some highlights:

• At all Masses and parish events, masks (covering nose and mouth) should continue to be worn upon entry and exit, and at any time where there is movement or a closeness to others, for instance, when the Communion procession forms. (Ministers of the Eucharist should be masked when distributing Communion as should those receiving.)
• When seated, or when at an outdoor gathering, masks may be removed/ relaxed at the discretion of the individual.
• Distance in the Church for seating remains at six feet of separation between households.
• The CDC has recommended that school-age children continue to wear masks, at least for the short term.
