Recently, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints stopped sending
missionaries to Hong Kong, a hotbed for the deadly disease SARS. About 150
missionaries are in Hong Kong now, said Mike Otterson, director of media
relations for the Church. In addition, Earl Sanders, president of the
Greenville South Carolina Stake addressed a local newspaper about
missionaries currently serving in areas where SARS has made a large impact.

SARS in Church

I was wondering how far Church leaders are going in protecting their congregations from the SARS virus. Do those blessing the sacrament wear masks? WHat about while speaking, etc.
