Does the indulgence that applies to adoration of the Blessed Sacrament apply to the Blessed Sacrament kept in the tabernacle?

Hi, I was just reading the Handbook of Indulgences (Norms and Grants) published by authority of the Bishops’ Committee on the Liturgy, National Conference of Catholic Bishops. No 3 (Adoratio Ss.mi Sacramenti / Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament) states that “a partial indulgence is granted the Christian faithful when they visit the Blessed Sacrament for the purpose of adoration. When this is done for at least half an hour, the indulgence is a plenary one.” The question I have is does this indulgence apply when one visits the Blessed Sacrament in the tabernacle or does the Blessed Sacrament need to be in visible display in the monstrance? Thanks and God Bless.
 
Hi,

They apply even if the Blessed Sacrament is not exposed. The Lord is just as present in the tabernacle as when you can see the host.
