The Parish priest of Annunciation catholic located at road one, Imo Housing Estate, Umuguma, New Owerri, Rev. Father B.C Chinemerem, yesterday, told his parishioners that those who want to come to church, must put on their face mask.
He added that, only those who want to die will refuse to maintain the laid down protocol of the covid-19 taskforce.
He maintained that, Covid is real and we must find a way to live with it.
Rev. Fr. Lucia Amadi Obi of Annunciation catholic parish who stated that as the music has changed, so also the dance will change, urged members to ensure they put on their masks as wise members.
