COVID-19 / Coronavirus: visitation of the sick/ housebound in their homes/care -homes
- Mindful of the need for the protection of the housebound/sick parishioners in their own homes/ care-homes, it would be prudent for ministers of communion to observe the visiting restrictions that are now in place in hospitals and nursing homes nationwide in regard to housebound/ sick parishioners.
- The HSE advises that persons with pre-existing medical conditions are particularly vulnerable to cross-infection.
- Ministers of communion are therefore advised to suspend their visits to the sick/housebound until the danger from the COVID-19 epidemic is spent.
- These suggested restrictions are deemed to be in the best interests of the sick & housebound parishioners as well as of the communion ministers themselves.
- Ministers are requested to kindly advise those whom they visit of this measure.
- Parish clergy will remain available to visit the sick and the housebound in urgent circumstances.
- Sick persons need not attend Mass.
Your active co-operation in this pertinent matter of pastoral care will be appreciated I sincerely thank you all, for your patience and understanding during this time of the national difficulty presented by Covid19.
