Your Excellency,
In the extraordinary circumstances in which we are living due to the pandemic of Convid-19, Pope Francis has decreed how the Sacred Triduum is to be celebrated in those countries

Dear Brothers and Sisters,
As you already know, the novel Coronavirus, COVID-19, outbreak that started in Wuhan, China, in December 2019, has spread to many countries, including some in East Africa. The virus is infectious, meaning it can spread directly or indirectly from one person to another. Its spread is through the mucosal membranes of the nose, mouth and eyes, then spreading down to the throat, airways and lungs. The virus may contaminate the hand when one touches any surface already contaminated by the virus.
