VATICAN CITY, JUN 15, 1999 (VIS) - Holy See Press Office Director Joaquin Navarro-Valls made the following declaration this morning from Krakow, Poland:

"Since last evening, Monday June 14, the Holy Father has a slight rise in temperature, probably of a viral nature.

"For this reason, he has been advised to postpone all his engagements for today, June 15.

"The Holy Father will spend the day at the residence of the archbishop of Krakow."

In response to journalists' questions, Navarro-Valls stated: "His temperature has remained below 38 degrees. In addition to rest, the Holy Father will undergo anti-influenza therapy."
