Coronavirus: Pope Francis Goes On Livestreams For Sunday Service

The Vatican has said Pope Francis will be delivering Sunday’s Angelus Prayer by Livestream instead of in-person from his window overlooking Saint Peter’s Square out of concern over the deadly CONVID-19 virus.

According to the Vatican, “The prayer will be broadcast via live stream by Vatican News and on screens in Saint Peter’s Square,”

The Vatican had promised to review the 83-year-old pontiff’s schedule “to avoid the dissemination” of the new COVID-19 disease.

The Argentine-born pope has been out of action for more than a week with a cold.

It could be recall that the Pope suffered two coughing fits during last Sunday’s prayer service and it was announced that he was pulling out of an annual spiritual retreat south of Rome to stay at home and get well.

The Vatican said the live stream will be recorded at the library of the Apostolic Palace overlooking the square.

The Pontiff is currently spending most of his time at his Saint Martha’s guest house in a separate part of the Vatican.
