Hong Kong Cardinal extends suspension of public Masses amid Covid-19 surge – Vatican News vaticannews.va

With Covid-19 cases rising quickly in Hong Kong leading to concerns over a “third wave,” Cardinal John Tong cancels all public Masses until further notice.

The Catholic Church in Hong Kong has announced the extension, until further notice, of anti-pandemic measures put in place recently to combat viral transmission.
The Diocesan Chancery published the notice on Monday, which extends the guidelines announced on 14 July.

Cardinal John Tong, it said, made the decision because “the situation of the Covid-19 pandemic has continued to deteriorate over the past two weeks and the Government will probably adopt even more stringent anti-pandemic measures soon”.
