Egypt’s Coptic Orthodox Church will resume masses on Friday
starting next month after a six-month hiatus on the back of the
coronavirus-related restrictions.
The Coptic Orthodox Church cancelled most public church services in March in the wake of the pandemic, partially resuming some services from 3 August as case numbers went down.
Masses were resumed in August on every day except Fridays, in an official statement on Sunday, the church said weekly Friday masses will resume starting from 11 September, with reduced numbers of congregants and other precautionary measures.
Church-affiliated nurseries will also be allowed to reopen at 50 percent capacity, the statement added.
Some other church activities continue to be suspended, according to the statement.
