are working with Government and with representatives of the heritage planning sector
to assess the need for building adaptations related to public safety in our cathedral
and church buildings, and in particular temporary additions or changes that might
need to be made to enable social distancing and proper hygiene. We are committed to
enabling our churches and cathedrals to make such changes as might be needed to allow
them to reopen safely.</p>
