Pope warned after Vatican diplomat’s virus infection
Pope Francis has been warned of potential exposure to COVID-19 after a Vatican diplomat was infected, Australian media reported Friday.
Archbishop Adolfo Tito Yllana, the Holy See’s ambassador to Australia, had a face-to-face meeting with Francis at the Vatican on Oct. 6, less than two weeks before testing positive to COVID-19 in Australia, Nine News reported.
Australian authorities say a diplomat who flew into Sydney on Oct. 9 had tested positive to the coronavirus. They won’t reveal the diplomat’s identity.
The diplomat tested positive 10 days after he started quarantining at home in Canberra, the Australian Capital Territory Health Department said.
