The head of the Synodal Department for Church Relations with the Media, Vladimir Legoyda, commented on the reports that appeared in a number of media and telegram channels, according to which the state of health of Patriarch Kirill allegedly worsened.
“Allegedly news. This is a new genre,” Legoyda said in his Telegram channel.
He added that “everything is fine” and urged to use “only trusted sources of information.”
On September 30, on September 30, on the day of signing the documents on the admission of four new regions to Russia, Legoyda said that the head of the Russian Orthodox Church had contracted the coronavirus, therefore all planned events were canceled for him. For this reason, as reported, Kirill was not present in the Kremlin at the ceremony with the participation of President Vladimir Putin and the heads of the LDNR, Kherson and Zaporozhye regions.
A week later, on September 6, Legoyda said that the patriarch’s COVID-19 disease is mild, he is receiving treatment at home and continues to fulfill his duties. On the same day, on the eve of Putin’s 70th birthday, the Patriarchate’s press service issued a statement on behalf of Kirill, in which he called for two days pray for the president’s health.
