VATICAN CITY, March 30 — Pope Francis’s health is improving after he was hospitalised with a respiratory infection and he has resumed working while treatment continues, the Vatican said today.
“This morning after breakfast, he read some newspapers and resumed work,” he added. Indicating that Francis was not confined to his bed, the statement said he had prayed in the small chapel within his private hospital suite. The Vatican said yesterday he was expected to spend a “few days” in hospital, calling into question his participation during the upcoming Holy Week, one of the busiest periods in the Church calendar, which kicks off with Palm Sunday on April 2.
Prayers were held for Francis in his native Argentina, which has never returned to since his election as pope a decade ago. ANSA news agency, quoting unnamed hospital sources, said doctors had “for now” ruled out heart problems and pneumonia for Francis. The Vatican has also said he does not have Covid-19.Francis is sometimes short of breath and exposed to respiratory problems. He had part of one lung removed in his early 20s when training to be a priest in Argentina.
