WHO stressed last May 5 that covid no longer constitutes an international public health emergency. All ecclesial, liturgical and devotional activities can once again be lived in the manner prior to the health emergency, says the Italian bishops' conference.

The CEI Presidency believes "it is also appropriate that the celebrations broadcast in streaming cease or at least have decreased in their number" "We want to remember the many people who lost their lives, including hundreds of priests who contracted the infection working for their ministry"
