The dioceses of Hong Kong and Singapore ordered that Holy Communion be distributed only on the hand while forbidding the reception on the tongue.
The reason given is the spreading of the Corona-virus.
However, not even in the historic times of the plague, Holy Communion was distributed on the hand. The priests protected themselves by using so called plague spoons (picture below).
This were golden or silver spoons with a spoon-handle up to forty centimetres to distribute Holy Communion.
