CWN Editor's Note: Cardinal John Dew of Wellington announced that the public celebration of Mass will be suspended this past weekend.

He also ordered priests not to hear confessions or take the Eucharist to the sick—although he said that priests could “make their own decision” about bringing the sacraments to those facing death.
