Archbishop of Iraq "tests positive" One Week Before Pope's Visit

 

Iraq nuncio turns Covid positive ahead of papal visit

 

The apostolic nunciature in Iraq has reported that nuncio Archbishop Mitja Leskovar has tested positive for Covid-19 less than a week ahead of the papal visit to the Middle Eastern nation.

 

"The apostolic nuncio has recently tested positive to the Covid-19 virus. His symptoms are very light and from self-isolation he continues to work for the preparation of the apostolic trip," tweeted Father Ervin Lengyel, secretary of the Baghdad nunciature, on Feb. 28.

 

The 51-year-old Archbishop Leskovar of Slovenia was appointed nuncio to Iraq in May 2020 by Pope Francis.

It's probably just another coincidence.
