"The clinical conditions of the Holy Father are confirmed to be improving. The Holy Father has suspended non-invasive mechanical ventilation and also reduced the need for high-flow oxygen therapy. The progress of motor and respiratory physiotherapy continues."

This is what was communicated in the Medical Bulletin released Wednesday evening by the Vatican Press Office on the state of health of Pope Francis , hospitalized since mid-February at the Gemelli Polyclinic in Rome.

"This morning on the solemnity of Saint Joseph the Holy Father concelebrated the Holy Mass," adds the note from the Holy See.
