MANILA - The personal doctor of Pope Francis has died due to complications from the novel coronavirus, the Catholic News Agency said quoting a Vatican newspaper.
“As Francis’ personal physician, Soccorsi traveled with the pope on his international trips. During his visit to Fatima, Portugal in May 2017, Pope Francis laid two bunches of white roses before the statue of the Virgin Mary for Soccorsi’s daughter, who was critically ill, and died the following month,” the news agency said.
Last December, two Vatican cardinals, including one who spends most of his time helping Rome's homeless, tested positive for the coronavirus. In March last year, a person who lives in the same Vatican residence as Pope Francis tested positive for coronavirus and was hospitalized.

Oh pity but how I wish he hasn't infected the Pope if the reverse is not the case.
