The governor noted that  the uniquely difficult circumstances the COVID-19 pandemic has created,  has also impacted on formal acts of worship to celebrate Easter.

‘’The closure of churches due to quarantine conditions in many places across the world, makes it impossible to celebrate Easter in the traditional way; a most unusual development,’’ he said.
