Relaxed corona rules also apply to churches and religious communities from June 10.
Analogous to the general protective measures, FFP2 masks will then no longer have to be worn during public outdoor religious services. The minimum distance will generally be halved to one meter for all masses, Culture Minister Susanne Raab (ÖVP) announced in a dispatch on Tuesday after talks with religious representatives.
On the part of the Roman Catholic Church it was said that at church services in closed rooms the wearing of FFP2 masks remains obligatory. When receiving communion, the faithful continue to step at least two meters to the side. The minimum distance of two meters will also be maintained during confession. For “religious celebrations on a one-off occasion” – meaning baptisms, first communions, confirmations and weddings – a prevention concept and a prevention officer continue to be mandatory, according to Kathpress.
