Good morning and welcome to COVID Communiqué 13. This week we’re introducing you to the Questions and Answers page we promised you. It’s a round-up of questions we’ve heard since the pandemic plan was released; they range from whether everyone has to wear a mask to what a parish should do if no one comes to church when it re-opens. Some won’t matter in your parish but we’re publishing these ones because we believe the answers may be relevant for many of you. A couple of answers are taking a bit longer to find—we want to bring you the most authoritative information available, not the first thing that pops up in a search—so we’ll be posting more next week. 

Please, if you have questions you can’t find the answer for in the plan or on the website, send it to us at the help desk at C19helpdesk@ottawa.anglican.ca.  That’s also the address if you’d like to receive your own copy of COVID Communiqué or if there’s something we’ve overlooked or got wrong—just drop us a line!
