Kottayam: Baselios Mar Thoma Paulose Catholica today said he was fully supportive of efforts to curb the spread of coronavirus. Urgent and effective measures must be taken to prevent health and the spread of the disease. Malankara Orthodox Church will cooperate with the masses in their efforts to defend the pestilence.
As the gatherings for worship increase the chances of spreading the disease, excluding Saturdays and Sundays in the churches and public places of the Malankara Church, prayer meetings and Sunday school classes should be avoided.
Institutions, movements, and hospitals under the church must properly carry out the instructions of the authorities. Care must be taken to minimize the number of participants in the culture. He said that the church’s spiritual organizations and movements should cooperate earnestly in the immunization efforts being carried out by the government and voluntary organizations.
