METRO MANILA – The Vatican confirmed today that Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle has been tested positive for Covid-19 upon his arrival in the Philippines.
He was tested negative after taking the test in Rome last Sept. 7, Vatican News reported.
Vatican Press Office Director Matteo Bruni said that he tested positive from the COVID-19 swab test that was conducted in Manila.
