The website of the Bolesławiec parish at Zamkowy Square states:

In connection with the introduction of an epidemic emergency in Poland and in compliance with the regulations issued by state authorities on March 13, which limited the number of participants in gatherings to 50, we are organizing more Masses so that no more than 50 people are inside the church at the same time.

Schedule of Holy Masses on Sunday, March 15: 7:00, 7:45, 8:30, 9:15, 10:00, 10:45, 11:30, 12:15, 13:00 and 18:00.

We asked how this would be organized and whether people would be counted. We were assured that up to 50 people would be admitted to each Mass. If more worshippers arrive, they will be asked to wait for the next Mass. The priests also encourage the faithful to make use of the dispensation and stay at home; this appeal is addressed especially to older people.

Can you become infected with coronavirus in church?

It is possible. When entering the church, one must first open the door, usually by grasping the handle. Coronavirus may be present there if an infected person touched it earlier. During Sunday Masses, people are usually close to one another. If an infected person coughs on us, we may become infected. If an infected person touched the pews and we later touch the same places, we may become infected. The virus can survive on various objects for up to several days. Infection may also occur if a priest, altar server or extraordinary minister touched the hosts or paten while being ill at the same time. In Czapurach near Poznań, a minister from the local parish is in quarantine. He served at Sunday Mass without knowing that his wife was a coronavirus carrier and was ill. If it turns out that he was also infected, the parish priest will also undergo quarantine.
