Following the reactions to the government excepting churchgoers from having to take rapid tests, the Church has taken matters into its own hands.

Following contact between the PM's Office and the Church, the Holy Synod issued a circular regarding rapid tests.

The circular was sent to the all the Archbishops, calling on clergy and churchgoers to strictly follow all the protection measures to avoid the spread of coronavirus.

It also urges that the vaccination be taken, which is recommended by the medical community and is the basic measure to provide protection against the pandemic.

For those that haven't yet been vaccinated, the Holy Synod urges that rapid or PCR tests be taken in order to enter churches or monasteries.
