The Coptic Orthodox Church of Egypt issued new guidelines in early December to protect congregants and members of the clergy. As Egypt’s second wave, the Orthodox Church in Egypt acted, working to slow the spread. While limits on certain gatherings took place to adequately social distance, most events were canceled altogether. The Church limited the number of people who could attend Mass and funerals, as well as limited seminaries and institutions to 25% capacity for classrooms.
