Pope cancels audiences due to persistent 'flu

(ANSA) - ROME, FEB 26 - Pope Francis on Monday cancelled the morning's audiences due to persistent mild flu symptoms, the Vatican press office said.
    "Mild flu-like symptoms persist without fever. As a precautionary measure, however, this morning's audiences are cancelled," it said.
    On Sunday the pope appeared at the window of the Apostolic Palace in the Vatican for the weekly Angelus Prayer, having cancelled his audiences due to mild flu the day before.

 However, the Vatican confirmed the pope's weekly general audience on Wednesday but said that it would be held indoors, in the Paul VI Hall, rather than in St Peter's Square as originally planned. (ANSA).
