Update for Parishes in PEI

Please include the following update in your parish Covid Guidelines.

Public Health in PEI has announced that face masks are required in all indoor public spaces in Prince Edward Island with the following exception:

     ~ It is not mandatory to wear a mask while seated at indoor events (such as church services and indoor seated concerts), provided there is 6 feet of physical distance between individuals of different households or different close social groups.

      ~ Masks must be worn at these types of events anytime you are out of your seat.

In partnership with the Diocesan Guidelines, masks remain strongly recommended for singing. It is our expectation that parishes have some discussion before they decide not to require the wearing of masks while seated. The fifth wave of Covid is evident in other parts of the world. 

If you have further questions or concerns, please reach out directly to Executive Director, The Rev’d Ann Turner, at executivedirector@nspeidiocese.ca.
