Coronavirus - Guidance Archive
(created 24 February 2022)
We first publicised the Government’s advice on good hygiene practices regarding the Coronavirus on 28 February 2020, offering further regular updates as things developed.
The UK population is now being asked to get used to living with Coronavirus being in circulation for the foreseeable future. In the light of almost all legal requirements being removed we have reviewed our guidance and produced a new, simplified guidance document.
However we are aware that, for various reasons, churches may find it helpful to refer to the guidance previously available. Please click the links below to access the key documents:
