COVID-19 Response

Last updated 8pm Monday 21st February 2022

At St Paul's Covent Garden we have been closely monitoring the COVID-10 (Coronavirus) pandemic. Following advice from Public Health England and the Church of England we are taking appropriate steps to ensure we keep our congregation, staff and volunteer team, visitors, neighbours and event attendees as safe as possible. This page will be regularly updated

Latest guidance

In line with latest guidance, wearing masks in the church building is no longer mandatory. However, please respect those who choose to continue wearing a mask. For the time being, Sunday services are still being streamed on Youtube.

We want you to know that the well-being and safety of our visitors and staff is our absolute priority, and we’d like to assure you that we’re creating the safest environment possible in line with the latest government advice. We’ve assessed every part of our offering: the spaces we provide, our team, the training given to them, and how we look after our visitors. We are also doing frequent health and safety assessments, as well as regular deep cleaning of the site.
