The Pope cancels his events this Saturday due to a "light flu". Pope Francis "has a slight flu and has canceled the audiences scheduled for this Saturday as a precaution," the Vatican reported.

Francisco had planned this Saturday's events in Rome, where he was to receive the deacons of the diocese of Rome. At the end of November, the Pope suffered from bronchitis for which he had to cancel some of the planned events and celebrate the Angelus in the papal palace.
