Pope Francis will live-stream Sunday services and other events online due to Italy's deadly coronavirus outbreak. The 83-year-old pontiff, who is suffering from a cold, has cancelled all his regular appearances in public to prevent large gatherings at the Vatican.

He will not address crowds from a window overlooking St Peter's Square on Sunday as normal and he will not hold his general audience from there on Wednesday.

Tens of thousands of people flock to the Vatican to see the pope, who recently tested negative for the flu-like virus, known as Covid-19.

It will be one of the few times in the past 66 years that a pope will not appear at the window, a ritual deeply ingrained in Roman tradition, with some families attending every week.
