PRAGUE (Reuters) - A Slovak bishop of the Greek-Catholic Church, who met Pope Francis when the pontiff visited the central European country last week, tested positive for COVID-19 and is in self-quarantine, the church said.

Pope Francis visited Hungary and Slovakia between Sept. 12-15, which was his first trip since having surgery in July.
