The corresponding decision was made on March 19 by the Holy Kinot of the Holy Mountain, which called on all monasteries, sketes and cells to serve the all-night vigil for the Patroness of the Holy Mountain, the Most Holy Theotokos, and the holy martyr Charalampy, whom they pray for deliverance from epidemics.

Athonites appeal to all Orthodox Christians to join the prayer for the deliverance from the pandemic.
As reported by the UOJ, on March 19, 2020, all the monasteries of Athos were closed to pilgrims because of the coronavirus.
