Johann Tetzel OP (c. 1465 – 11 August 1519) was a German Dominican friar and preacher. He was appointed Inquisitor for Poland and Saxony, [1] [2] later becoming the Grand Commissioner for indulgences in Germany. Tetzel was known for granting indulgences on behalf of the Catholic Church in exchange for tithes to the Church.
The first indulgence was for victims of COVID-19 and those helping them.

The second plenary indulgence was for the victims of COVID-19 at their hour of death.
