MANILA, Philippines — The Department of Health asked Catholic devotees to avoid kissing images of Christ during Holy Week to prevent the spread of the virus that causes COVID-19.

 

“We advise and request our churches kung maaari po itong practice na ito ay hindi muna natin ipatupad. Meron naman tayong ibang bagay or ways kung paano makakapag-show ng devotion,” Health Undersecretary Maria Rosario Vergeire said in a briefing Tuesday.

 

(We advise and request our churches to disallow this practice for now. There are other ways to show our devotion.)
