Do not come to church
Information on the measures against
propagation of the Corona Virus
The Yamate Catholic Church (Sacred Heart Cathedral) has decided to take measures against the propagation of the coronavirus.
Media are reporting daily about the extension and seriousness of the epidemy. Masks and other hygiene goods are in short supply and many persons have a heightened awareness of the necessary precautions. In that context and in order to avoid group infection, the Government has requested to avoid gathering numerous people in confined spaces.

Giving priority to the limitation of the virus propagation, our Church has decided to adopt the below mentioned precautionary measures. We ask everybody’s understanding and cooperation.
