Share this contentVATICAN CITY: People attending Masses in St. Peter's and other papal basilicas in Rome will have their temperature checked as part of measures to contain the spread of coronavirus, the Vatican said on Thursday .

The new rules for churches in Italy include limiting numbers, distancing and masks but they do not impose thermal scanning, meaning the papal basilicas will have even stricter rules. He said officials at each basilica will decide the maximum number of people who can safely enter and that Vatican police, Italian police and volunteers will control the flow.Bruni did not say when the new provisions would take effect and when Pope Francis would next say a Mass from the main altar of St. Peter's.

Thousands of people usually attend major papal events in St. Peter's and the other basilicas but it is unlikely that those numbers will be allowed in again for some time.
