“We are very moved and grateful for the many well wishes and prayers we have received from you from around the world,” the Friday message says. “Thank you for your faith on our behalf. Our doctors indicate we have now both successfully completed our quarantines.
“With continued precautions, for example, wearing a mask, frequent handwashing and social distancing, I look forward to returning to my full responsibilities next week. We are most grateful to you and look forward to being with you soon.”
