The head of the OCU Epiphanius urged those at risk not to visit churches on holidays. On Monday, April 26, he said this on the air of the Freedom of Speech program.

“As a church, we urge all those at risk not to attend temples at this time. After all, we have the opportunity to participate in worship services online. Therefore, I urge everyone to be vigilant, wise and responsible during this special time. Do not expose others. If you have not been ill, if you are at risk, then it is better to abstain at this time and participate in online services,” said the head of the OCU.
