Statement from His Grace Zachariah Mar Nicholovos, Metropolitan (March28th, 2020)
We all continue to keep vigilant in these days of the Coronavirus pandemic. It is imperative we continue to pray for those who are affected by this virus, especially those in healthcare who continue to offer their care for those who are ill.
On March 25th after Holy Qurbana I began experiencing some mild-cold and flu-like symptoms. Upon the advice from my primary care physician, and out of an abundance of caution I was tested for COVID-19, which came back positive. I have self-quarantined to ensure no one else is affected.
During this time, I humbly ask for your prayers, that I may get well soon and continue with my responsibilities to the clergy and the faithful in our Diocese.
