Pope Francis' clinical conditions have remained stable, confirming the progress seen in the last week. High-flow oxygen therapy continues, progressively reducing the need for non-invasive mechanical ventilation during the night.

This is what was communicated in the bulletin of Saturday evening on the condition of the pontiff hospitalized at the Policlinico Gemelli in Rome since last February 14.

According to the update, the Pope still requires hospital medical therapy, motor and respiratory physiotherapy and these therapies, at present, are showing further, gradual improvements.

The Holy Father has been in treatment at Gemelli for over a month now , as things stand, "it is not possible to predict how long he will remain isolated" . But "let us remember that the Pope is a man of faith and this supports him", Vatican sources underline, adding that in any case, anyone who finds themselves facing life as a patient changes their approach to life.
