Catholic Church appeals for Covid-19 adherence during Easter period

Top officials of the Roman Catholic Church are advising its faithful to strictly adhere to covid-19 preventive measures during this Easter period.

Archbishop Thomas Msusa said people should not relax in the covid-19 adherence because of the low infection positivity rate the country is registering.

In the past 48 hours, the country registered just over 30 new infections and one death.

The appeal comes as the Catholic Church in the country has lost nine priests due to the Covid 19 pandemic.

Christians observe Easter in remembrance of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, with Good Friday and Easter Monday being public holidays.
