The Vatican says it is closing Saint Peter’s Square and its main basilica to tourists — but not the faithful — as part of a broader clampdown to curb the coronavirus.
The Holy See said the measures will remain in place until April 3 “to halt the spread of the coronavirus.”
A Vatican source later clarifies to AFP that anyone who expresses a wish to pray at the basilica can still pass through the police barrier and walk onto the main square.
