VATICAN CITY, March 6 — The Vatican today reported its first coronavirus case, saying it had suspended outpatient services at its health clinic after a patient tested positive for Covid-19.
The clinic inside the tiny city state — which has some 1,000 residents — will be deep cleaned, while the emergency room will remain open, spokesman Matteo Bruni told AFP.
The patient tested positive yesterday.
The clinic is used by priests, residents and employees — including those now retired — as well as their relatives.
