It is the first infection case among political leaders in major European countries.

Jingaretti has also met with senior government officials, raising the possibility of spreading within the cabinet.

Italy's Corona19 confirmed number increased by more than 1,000 in a day for the first time yesterday.

As of 6 pm local time yesterday, 1,247 people increased compared to the previous day, with cumulative confirmation of 5883.

The steep spread in Italy also canceled a massive crowd event.

Each Sunday, the Pope's three-day Sunday prayer service was decided to be replaced by live broadcast.

This is the first time the Vatican has conducted this event online.

Since the event usually attracts thousands of believers and tourists, it has been reported that the event was canceled in order to prevent the spread of corona19.
