本周三有报道称，一些英国教堂建议教区居民用拥抱代替握手来传递“和平的信号”，以防止猪流感的传播。

《金融时报》说，由于越来越多的人担心猪流感在英国扩散，英国教会在伦敦东南部的南华克主管教区推荐了这一方法。

" ]' ?) u8 X3 {' ^报纸上说，有的教堂已经开始允许用面包蘸圣餐酒，不再共用圣餐杯，而其他一些教堂则完全停止供应集体圣餐酒了。

一位英国主教已经建议他主管教区的教堂暂停供应圣水，从而防止甲型H1N1流感病毒的传播。

这些措施效法了其他国家的做法，例如葡萄牙，那里的教徒领圣餐时是把面包放在手中而不是放进嘴里。

世界卫生组织本周二称，目前猪流感已经在全球夺去了700多人的生命，专家们正在讨论是否应该关闭学校来抑制猪流感的大规模流行。
