Staff writer, with CNAA number of Catholic church services catering to Filipinos in Taiwan have been temporarily suspended or churches have implemented special measures to help prevent the spread of COVID-19. Father Edward Pacquing, the church’s parish priest, said that it is a preventive measure after an undocumented foreign caretaker was confirmed as Taiwan’s 32nd case. She was on Wednesday confirmed to have COVID-19, a few days after the man was diagnosed with the virus. “When we protect ourselves we are not protecting solely ourselves, but we are also protecting others,” she said. St Joseph the Worker Parish in Kaohsiung’s Nanjhih District (楠梓) and Holy Family Catholic Church in Tainan’s Shanhua District (善化) are implementing similar measures.
