RECOWACERAO NEWS AGENCY, RECONA got a piece of heart-rending news last night. It was confirmed that our renowned Cardinal Philippe Ouedraogo of Burkina Faso has tested positive for this Covid-19 pandemic.
In a note dated March 30 addressed to the priests and heads of institutions of the diocese of Ouagadougou and made available to RECOWACERAO NEWS AGENCY, the vicar general, Father Alfred Ouédraogo informs the general public that the Archbishop of this same diocese, Cardinal Philippe Ouédraogo has tested positive for Covid-19 .
RECONA later understood that Cardinal Ouédraogo himself wanted the information to be made public and asked everyone to pray for him, the other patients and the caregivers.
Presently, Cardinal Philippe Ouédraogo suffers from coronavirus. Credible information on the state of health of the Archbishop of Ouagadougou was given on Monday evening, March 30, by the Vicar General, Father Alfred Ouédraogo in a note addressed to parish priests and directors of Catholic institutions.
Let us not forget that Cardinal Philippe Ouédraogo, 75 is also president of the Symposium of Episcopal Conferences of Africa and Madagascar (Sceam), at the head of which he was elected in July 2019.
RECONA gathered that he underwent the Covid-19 test this past weekend when he began to feel sick and was put in confinement pending the results.
As we earlier pointed out, the note published by the vicar general states that the cardinal himself requested that information on his state of health be made public. He also invited to pray for him, for other coronavirus patients around the world, and for all caregivers.
Second Burkinabe bishop tested positive for Covid-19
Cardinal Philippe Ouédraogo is the second bishop of Burkina Faso suffering from coronavirus in this West African country which, as of March 30, has 246 cases of coronavirus, including 31 cures.
As we earlier published, on March 25, the Episcopal Conference of Burkina Niger had indeed informed, in a press release that Mgr Séraphin François Rouamba, Archbishop Emeritus of Koupéla is suffering from coronavirus. After this positive test, he was transferred to the Tengandogo University Hospital Center (CHU-T) in Ouagadougou, an establishment designed to receive patients suffering from Covid-19. Tengandogo University Hospital finally sent him to the “Princess Sarah” clinic where he continues his treatment.
