MANILA<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Former Manila Archbishop Luis Antonio Cardinal Tagle has recovered from the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19).<\/p>\n

In an article posted on the Catholic Bishops\u2019 Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) news website, the news was announced by Pontificio Collegio Filippino (PCF) in Rome on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cGod wants him to continue serving in the Vatican\u2019s office for the Missions, to bring God\u2019s Good News of love, joy, peace, justice, forgiveness, and reconciliation \u2013 all of which the world needs in a special way these days,\u201d said Fr. Gregory Gaston, PCF Rector.<\/p>\n

Tagle has recovered 13 days after he contracted the disease.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe wish him all the best in his short visit to the Philippines, to rest a bit and be with his family back home,\u201d Gaston added.<\/p>\n

On September 10, Tagle tested positive for Covid-19 upon his arrival in Manila from Rome.<\/p>\n

He is the prefect of the Vatican\u2019s Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples and president of Caritas Internationalis.<\/p>\n

Before leaving Rome, Tagle had undergone a Covid-19 test on September 7, which turned out to be negative.<\/p>\n

He was the first Roman curia dicastery head to have caught the virus.<\/p>\n

At least four bishops in the country got infected with Covid-19.<\/p>\n

Two of them \u2013 retired Imus Bishop Manuel Sobrevi\u00f1as and Lingayen-Dagupan Emeritus Archbishop Oscar Cruz \u2013 died, while the other two \u2013 Manila Apostolic Administrator Bishop Broderick Pabillo and retired Kalookan Bishop Deogracias I\u00f1iguez \u2013 have fully recovered.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
