During his April 29 homily, Francis announced that he had received a letter from a certain 18-year old Andrea from Caravaggio,
“Letters from teenagers, from children, are beautiful for the concreteness,” Francis raved.
Andrea wrote that the invitation during Francis' Eucharists to give a sign of peace wasn't appropriate “because with the pandemic, we can't touch each other.”
Francis replied that Andrea couldn't see from the live-stream that those attending the Eucharists, “nod at each other with their head” for the sign of peace.
In the meantime, Andrea’s mother revealed to EcoDiBergamo.it that Andrea received a phone-call from Francis while shopping at the supermarket.
On the occasion, Francis promised to send him a papal zucchetto because Andrea is a lover of ecclesiastical clothes and accessories, which likely doesn't go down well with Francis, but, seemingly, he put up a smiling front.

Does social distancing apply to liturgical dancers?

Should the lead singer of the parish rock band wear a face mask?

Do "eucharistic ministers" need to use hand sanitizer during communion?

Are the mimes still allowed to make balloon animals during the readings?

Ignore negative. The best positive solution is to recognize and pray for Sovereign Pontiff Benedict XVI.
