6.  Priests, Deacons and all extraordinary ministers of  Holy  Communion should practice good hygiene by washing their hands thoroughly with soap and pure water before and after  Mass and use a hand sanitizer before and after the distribution of Holy  Communion.

7. We are to wash our hands thoroughly and frequently with soap and pure water or use hand sanitizer before and after using our hands.

8. Persons with flu-like symptoms or who are feeling sick are encouraged not to go to Mass or other church gatherings.
