The Focolare Movement recommends adopting scrupulously the precautionary and safety measures stipulated by the health authorities of each country

Following the detection of cases of Coronavirus infection (COVID-19) also in Italy,

the International Centre of the Focolare Movement,

having its headquarters in Italy and being the organizer and venue of events attended by people from many countries, invites the great Focolare family around the world to handle this health emergency with the required caution and with a great sense of responsibility in view both of personal health and the common good.

In particular, the Focolare Movement recommends adopting scrupulously the precautionary and safety measures stipulated by the health authorities of each country and carefully following the relevant communications.

With regard to events organized at the International Centre, the Centre itself is in close contact with the local health and civil authorities to follow developments and take the necessary measures. The International Centre recommends doing the same with regard to large events in other countries.

However, what remains valid is the invitation made by Maria Voce (Emmaus) on 1st February, to have – precisely as a worldwide Focolare family – an unconditional love for everyone, a love “that makes no differences between people, and is fearless. Because even a person who can give you the infection is still your brother or sister and you must take care of him or her”.

  • Si si tutto va bene…. Ma io appartengo ad un gruppo di Piacenza, vicina pochissimi Km al focolaio che si è sviluppato in Lombardia ed ora abbiamo ricoverati anche a Piacenza…. Dovevamo venire al congresso aderenti…. Alcune mi hanno telefonato che i famigliari stessi preferiscono che rimangano a casa… Che fare? Onestamente e con senso civico noi siamo in una zona a rischio e potremmo essere motivo di preoccupazione per gli altri….
