Pope Francis called the situation “an opportunity to see what men and women of good will are capable of.”, Vatican News reported, and said he is thinking “of those who, in these days, are doing more than they should: the medical and paramedical personnel first and foremost.”
Good will, “combined with a strong sense of responsibility and cooperation with the appropriate authorities, becomes an added value that the world sorely needs,”, the pope wrote.
