Vatican believes pontiff's absence during prayer will deter crowds and lower contagion threats. FMTNews viral
Vatican believes the pope’s absence during prayer will deter crowds and lower contagion threats.
“The prayer will be broadcast via livestream by Vatican News and on screens in Saint Peter’s Square,” the Vatican said in a statement. It recorded its first infection on Thursday and was awaiting the results of a test on another person who appeared at a Vatican-organised event last month. Ministers decided at an all-night emergency meeting to call in retired doctors as part of an effort to bolster the strained healthcare system with 20,000 additional staff.The head of the Italian ruling coalition’s junior partner became the latest high-profile figure to confirm they had been infected.
Many of the city’s outdoor restaurants and cafes were either closed at night or had free tables overseen by forlorn staff with little to do but chat.
