Some local Catholics are getting a pass on attending Sunday Mass thanks to the potentially deadly coronavirus.

Brooklyn Bishop Nicholas DiMarzio “has dispensed the faithful from the obligation to attend Sunday Mass until further notice for Catholics of Brooklyn and Queens,” the Brooklyn Diocese said in a statement Friday.

The diocese said that Sunday masses will still be celebrated, but “the faithful are urged to exercise caution if they are to attend.”

Weekday Masses will continue as usual, “with the normal precaution people should take when gathering in public places,” the diocese said, adding that events like weddings and funerals “may take place, but attendance should be limited.

Meanwhile, the Archdiocese of New York on Friday “urged the faithful to use their prudential judgment on whether or not to attend Mass on Sundays and Holy Days during the coronavirus outbreak.

“This is in keeping with the teaching of the Church, which has always exempted those with serious medical issues which would prohibit them from attending Mass, as well as for all people in times of general emergencies,” the archdiocese said.

“This is especially true during this coronavirus outbreak, particularly for adults over the age of 60, people with underlying medical conditions, and family members of such individuals, who should take special care in discerning the best course of action.”

The New York Archdiocese said that those who do attend Mass “are reminded that they should follow the guidelines in place, such as receiving Holy Communion reverently in the hand, not receiving the Precious Blood, being sure to wash hands/use sanitizer before and after Mass, and avoiding physical contact with or close proximity to other persons.”

Both the Brooklyn Diocese and the Archdiocese of New York reminded its followers that local masses are televised and livestreamed.

“In these extremely difficult and challenging times, it is the primary duty of the diocese to keep the faithful safe and healthy,” the Brooklyn diocese said.

The diocese urged parishioners to “take the necessary precautions, including remaining at a safe distant from others and receiving Holy Communion in the hand.”

“The distribution of the Precious Blood has previously been suspended as well as the Sign of Peace with a handshake. Holy Water Fonts may also be emptied in Churches as a precaution,” according to the diocese.

A state of emergency has been declared in the city and state due to the spread of the flu-like bug.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Thursday announced statewide bans on gatherings of more than 500 people in an attempt to combat the highly transmissible virus.
