Not a surprise. Dioceses around the US are doing the same thing. An unfortunate necessity.

Thankfully, folks can "worship from home."
But this is going to hurt the catholic coffers for sure.
My friend sent me a screenshot of a mass that was livestreamed with no congregants. There was, unsurprisingly, a DONATE HERE button below the stream.

No public worship?
That means folks are going to have to interact with God directly on a one-to-one basis.
I wonder how that will turn out.

I have long wondered how the Catholic clergy sold early members on the idea that they needed an intermediary between them and their god. It certainly makes sense as a "Church employment" initiative, but it's a hard sell if you are also trying to get people to believe the god is omnipotent, and therefore can "infinitask".

Because they had a Latin bible and no one could read. Keeping them barefoot and pregnant has been the first commandment at the Vatican for 2000 years.
