All Catholic public religious gatherings suspended

Bishop of the Diocese of Roseau, His Lordship, Gabriel Malzaire has suspended all Catholic public religious gatherings in Dominica effective Tuesday in light of the coronavirus (COVID-19).

Dominica has reported seven cases of the deadly virus.

In a statement issued Tuesday, he called on the clergy and Catholics on the island to “strictly adhere” to a list of guidelines.

Malzaire says church services will be carried live in order for persons to feel a part of events.
