"Francis to Be Discharged Soon"

 

The Holy See Press Office announced on March 10, evening

"The Holy Father's clinical condition remains stable.

The improvements observed in recent days have been consolidated, as confirmed by blood tests, clinical objectivity and the good response to the drug therapy.

For these reasons, the doctors decided today to lift the prognosis.

However, given the complexity of the clinical picture and the important infectious picture presented on admission, it will be necessary to continue medical drug therapy in hospital for a few more days.

This morning the Holy Father was able to attend the spiritual exercises in connection with the Paul VI Hall, then received the Eucharist and went to the chapel of the private apartment for a moment of prayer.

In the afternoon he took part again in the Spiritual Exercises in the Curia, following them by video link.

During the day he alternated between prayer and rest."
