On these days, religious communities in Quang Ninh have joined hands with the government and local people to fight against Covid-19 with the highest sense of responsibility.
Cua Ong Parish consists of Dong Tam congregation (in Tien Yen District), Van Don congregation (in Van Don District), Cam Hai congregation and Mong Duong congregation (in Cam Pha City) with more than 1,000 followers. Since the guidelines on Covid-19 prevention and control was issued, the parish and congregations have postponed all gatherings at churches for mass and reminded followers to wear face masks, properly wash hands, and not leave houses without a justifiable reason. Notably, the parish not only does good job in propaganda activities but also proactively takes part in Covid-19 prevention and control programs at residential areas.
Cam Pha Parish with nearly 4,000 followers have proactively implemented social distancing rules although there are a lot of solemn ceremonies this month. These ceremonies will be hold online instead of at churches in line with the spirit “self-isolation at home”. In addition, the parish closes all churches and hangs the notice to warn parishioners not to attend mass.
It can be said that with the spirit of unity, followers and parishioners in Quang Ninh have been proactively joined hands to push back Covid-19.
