The episcopal ordination of a new Indonesian bishop has been postponed after he tested positive for Covid-19, a Catholic Church official said on June 10.
Father Fransiskus Tuaman Sasfo Sinaga, appointed in March by Pope Francis as bishop of Sibolga in North Sumatra province, was due to be ordained on June 17.
“He is getting better. He is being treated and undergoing quarantine at St. Elizabeth Hospital in Medan. He will need several more days before he can finally be among the faithful,” diocese secretary Father Blasius Super Yesse told UCA News.
