Vatican City on Friday confirmed its first case of coronavirus infection and closed several offices as a precaution against the disease’s spread.
The Vatican closed a health clinic after a priest from France on Thursday tested positive for the disease, known as COVID-19.

The official has not tested positive, but the person lives in the same church as the priest.
