On Saturday, the Vatican announced the discovery of a COVID-19 case at the Santa Marta residence, the residence of Pope Francis.
The Information Office of the Holy See said that “another positive case of Covid-19 was discovered for a person among the inhabitants of the Vatican State. The wounded man, who remains without symptoms until now, was placed in isolation, as was everyone who was in direct contact with him. ” He added that “he temporarily left the house in Santa Marta, where he usually resides.”
On the other hand, no details were mentioned about the state of health of Pope Francis, who preferred when he was chosen to live in the house of Santa Marta instead of the Apostolic Palace. The statement only said that “the health of all residents is constantly monitored.”
During a traditional public gathering on Wednesday, Pope Francis avoided any close contact with the faithful.
The Pope, who does not wear a muzzle in his public and private gatherings, said: “I would like to close them and greet you, as I usually do, but it is better to keep your distance.”
Italy, which has recorded more than 36,000 deaths from the virus, is facing an increase in the number of infections. A record number of more than 10,000 injured in 24 hours was recorded on Friday, an unprecedented figure since the start of the epidemic in this country.
