This story is a week old but I haven’t seen it posted here yet.
I’m looking for an update on how the cardinal is doing.

Cardinal in Burkina Faso has it now also.
Prayers for both of their recoveries.

I can’t find anything more recent than his statement on March 30th, but I found another link that a Cardinal in Burkina Faso has tested positive, and the Cardinal of Prague is self-isolating after feeling ill. I hope they all recover soon.

@Tis_Bearself, I don’t know if you’ve seen this, it was published a couple of hours ago:

‘Thank God I’m healing’: Cardinal with coronavirus sends Easter message | Catholic News Agency

Writing from the Gemelli Hospital in Rome, where he was hospitalized March 30, Cardinal Angelo De Donatis said: “Thank God I’m healing and I should be discharged soon.”

The cardinal, who is vicar general of Rome diocese, wrote in an April 8 message that he felt “supported and consoled by the prayers of all of you who have been close to me” during his ordeal.

He said: “All my gratitude goes to the doctors, the nurses and all the medical staff of the Agostino Gemelli Polyclinic who are caring for me and many other patients, with great competence and demonstrating a deep humanity, animated by the sentiments of the Good Samaritan.”

Glad to hear the good news. I did not see that yet today.
I was kind of hoping “no news was good news”.

I think “no news is good news” should be the rule of thumb for coronavirus. I’d assume that if there’s no information at least a patient can’t have gotten any worse.

I’m glad the Cardinal is getting back to normal.
