Latest received about the new variant that has been discovered and the effects if any it will have on worshipping in Scotland.

Dear All,

I have had some questions about the Omicron Variant. Right now though there is nothing really to say. There are (currently) no new restrictions and we just need to continue being careful and doing what we have been doing so well (and, if perhaps we have slipped in any way, to refresh our efforts).  

The First Minister said today “So at this stage, we are asking people, everyone across the country, to significantly step up and increase compliance with all existing precautions - face coverings, hygiene like washing hands and surfaces, getting vaccinated and of course testing yourselves regularly with lateral flow devices and, from now on, testing yourself before mixing socially with people from other households.” – this is good advice for all of us just now and things we can share with all parishioners.

If there are any further updates I will share those with you in due course.

Best wishes

Canon Paul Gargaro
