It is a virtually unprecedented measure.<\/p>\n<p>The pope is celebrating Mass alone in his chapel, with a few collaborators. It broadcasts live for all of Italy.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, Pope Francis will continue to have his two weekly appointments, the Angelus on Sunday and the General Audiences on Wednesday, but virtually: he is recorded alone in a room, so fewer pilgrims are in the square.<\/p>\n<p><strong>POPE FRANCIS<\/strong><br \/>\n<em>It's a little strange, praying the Angelus today, with the pope \u201ccaged\u201d in the library. However, I see you. I am close to you.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Until the situation calms down, the pope will only hold necessary working meetings, avoid meeting groups of pilgrims, and take precautionary measures.<\/p>\n<p>The Vatican Museums and the catacombs under the basilica are also closed.<\/p>\n<p>The basilica is still open, but visitors are asked to keep the safe distance of one meter.<\/p>\n<p>Vatican employees have similar safety guidelines as those in the rest of the country:<\/p>\n<p>- Avoid crowds.<\/p>\n<p>-  No elevators, not to be too close to other people.<\/p>\n<p>- Clean common areas often.<\/p>\n<p>Obviously, those with feverish symptoms are advised to call their doctor, and avoid going to the hospital until after necessary precautions are put in place to receive them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>JMB<br \/>\nTranslation: Melissa Butz<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>March 9, 2020.
