According to Edward Pentin reporting on Twitter, Francis answered that he didn't want to spread germs among the many who had come to greet him.
Gisotti added that it was for reasons of “hygiene," not for Francis, "but to avoid contagion when there are long lines of people."
"He likes to hug people,” Gisotti commented, turning an embarrassing situation into a farce.
