Meanwhile, the Augustinian Canons Regular in Herzogenburg Abbey (district of St. Pölten-Land) have been in quarantine since Saturday, after Propst Petrus Stockinger tested positive for the corona virus. The 38-year-old propst had shown symptoms of the disease, which have so far been mild, the monastery said. Several cases of corona had already been reported in the canon’s surroundings. As a result of the quarantine, all tours of the monastery have been cancelled for the time being. According to the monastery’s website, planned confirmations and services in the 14 Herzogenburg monastery parishes are also affected.
