 Breaking: Vatican confirms Pope Francis and two aides test positive for Coron

The Vatican has confirmed in a statement that Pope Francis and two of his aides have tested positive for the novel Coronavirus.

 

The three new cases add up to the over 400 cases confirmed in Italy under a week.

Pope Francis missed a planned Mass with clergy in Rome yesterday after showing Coronavirus-like symptoms.

The Vatican had earlier said the pontiff, 83, had a slight indisposition and could proceed with the rest of his planned work today.

The pope and his aides have been quarantined and receiving medical attention near Santa Marta, the Vatican hotel where he lives.

The pope was seen coughing and blowing his nose during the Asha Wednesday Mass.

I'm inclined to not believe this.  I suspect it's "false news."

It might be a hacked page. Notice it's in the "Showbiz" section and the article isn't mentioned on the homepage of the site.

I am beginning to think you are correct. I thought it was breaking when I saw it, but don't see any follow up by others, so although I suspect the Pope may very well be positive, I don't think it was confirmed by Vatican (story also has 228,660 of views and was supposed to be less than a minute old)

With all that has been going around, about him, he may very well be positive for the virus.  Time will tell.
