On May 29, 2021, His Beatitude Tikhon, Archbishop of Washington and Metropolitan of All America and Canada, issued new guidelines to the clergy and faithful of the Diocese of New England, regarding protocols for churches vis-a-vis the COVID-19 pandemic. His Beatitude serves not only as the primate of the Orthodox Church in America, but also as the locum tenens, or temporary hierarch, of the Diocese of New England, which presently is without a permanent bishop. The guidelines may be read here and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) guidelines updated and released on September 1, 2021 can be read here.
