The safety requirements observed during collective prayer during divine services also apply to confession. It is held in churches, and, in addition, at the request of parishioners, it can be organized personally for believers in quarantine. The bishops and priests of Lithuania urge believers to pray to the Lord God and the Virgin Mary for those who are sick - as well as for medical workers fighting the pandemic.
