Pope Francis was still suffering from his cold, according to a spokesperson from the Vatican.
The Vatican stated that Pope Francis was still suffering from a cold and not exhibiting other symptoms of coronavirus (COVID-19).
This, after Italy’s Messaggero newspaper reported that Pope Francis had tested negative for the 2019 novel coronavirus, now named COVID-19. In a statement, Vatican spokesperson Matteo Bruni, without directly confirming the said report, stated that the cold diagnosed in Pope Francis was running its course “without symptoms attributable to other pathologies”.
Pope Francis earlier announced that he canceled a Lent retreat after axing all public meetings and retreating to his Vatican residence last week. The Pope earlier stated that a cold forced him to cancel the said retreat this year.
