Communion affected by swine flu

Communion services across the Isle of Man could be suspended if swine flu spreads, the Lord Bishop of Sodor and Man warned.

Holy Communion wine would not be given out to churchgoers in case of spreading the virus further if the pandemic hits the island.

At the moment, 11 people have been diagnosed with the virus.

Bishop Robert Paterson added: “We are ready in case swine flu increases, we have to look at all options.”
