The medical part released this afternoon from Italy reports that “The Pontiff continues with his scheduled treatments.” This is how the director of the Vatican Press Office explains it, Matteo Bruni.
“This morning, after breakfast, he read some newspapers and went back to work. Before lunch he went to the small chapel of the private apartment, where he met in prayer and received the Eucharist.”
The results of the tests at the Gemelli hospital showed a respiratory infection (ruling out Covid-19, pulmonitis and heart problems) which will require a few days of hospital medical treatment. “Pope Francis rested well during the night. The clinical picture is gradually improving and the planned treatments continue.”It indicated.
Bergoglio arrived at the Gemelli Polyclinic in Rome to treat “a respiratory infection” early yesterday afternoon by ambulance after having decompensated at his residence in Santa Marta.
He will spend a few days in the apartment that is always prepared for him on the tenth floor of the E wing of the university hospital.
A chest CT scan and blood oxygen saturation tests have reportedly ruled out serious problems. According to the doctors, Francisco’s health “is not a cause for concern.”
In the care of the Pope is Massimiliano Strappetti, his trusted nurse, the one who convinced him to undergo colon surgery three years ago.
