Jaume Rigo explained this Sunday to the brotherhoods that the latest update of the government’s Covid plan makes it obligatory to wear masks at events attended by more than 300 people.
The diocesan secretary called for “responsibility” from the brotherhoods in order to “resume the processions with enthusiasm and hope”.
Bishop Sebastià Taltavull said: “There is no objection to recuperating the processions, but the rules must be followed. Cheer up and may this Easter Week go better than ever,” he said.
