In Italy, Pope Francis asks for those who still debate whether to live in the face of covid-19 infections
Pope Francis today showed his closeness to coronavirus patients and their families, and said that in Italy the "acute phase" has already passed, but it is necessary for citizens to continue to respect security protocols to prevent a new spread of the pandemic .
"I greet all of you, Romans and pilgrims: the faithful, families and religious communities. Your presence in the square is a sign that the acute phase of the epidemic has passed in Italy … but stay tuned, do not yet sing victory . We must respect the norms in force, "said the pope, moments after the Angelus was recited.
Italy was one of the first countries most affected by the coronavirus pandemic, which so far has registered more than 234 thousand infected with covid-19.

"Unfortunately, in other countries, I think of some, the virus continues to claim many victims. Last Friday, in one country, one person died every minute, terrible. I want to express my closeness to those populations, the sick and their families, and all those who take care of them, "he added.
In recent months the Vatican had reported several positive cases of coronavirus in this small state, but on Saturday it indicated that there are currently no COVID-19 patients among employees of the Holy See and in the Vatican City State.
The Vatican has reopened and allowed access to St. Peter’s Square after almost three months closed, as a preventive measure against possible infections.
