The Pope's clinical conditions have remained stable. He has alternated non-invasive mechanical ventilation with long periods of high-flow oxygen therapy, always maintaining a good response to gas exchange. The Pope is afebrile and does not show leukocytosis. Hemodynamic parameters have always remained stable; he has continued to eat and has regularly undergone respiratory physiotherapy, actively collaborating. He has not presented episodes of bronchospasm. The Pope is always alert and oriented. In the afternoon he received the Eucharist, then dedicated himself to prayer. The prognosis remains reserved.

This is the evening bulletin on the conditions of Francesco, hospitalized at Gemelli.

The absence of leukocytosis in the Pope's tests is a positive sign because it suggests that there is no increase in infections, Vatican sources explain. The return to ventilation through the nose, alternating with that of the mouth-nose mask, is also a sign of improvement. However, the same sources point out, the Pope's health picture remains complex.
