From Deseret.Com: The unique pain of a COVID-19 surge at Christmas
"A spokesman for the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York told The New York Times that the safety measures already in place for in-person worship, including a mask requirement, will reduce infection risk.
“These measures have been working and effective,” said the spokesman, Joseph Zwilling. “There are no additional measures being put in place at this time.”"
It is true that the measures in place will reduce risk. But will it reduce risk enough in light of Omicron to justify Cardinal Dolan's assurances of safety?
I don't know how Joseph Zwilling can say the the measures are effective. I would like to see the data. I had no idea that the Archdiocese of New York had a Department of Health that tracked cases and exposures associated with St. Patrick's Cathedral, let alone parish churches in the archdiocese.
