“The Metropolitan spent the previous days in isolation at home under continuous medical supervision,” the message says. “Although today it is confirmed that his general health is in order (without significant complications), and he himself feels well, the COVID test confirmed that the bishop was infected with this virus, for these reasons he was transported to the Clinical Centre in Podgorica.”
