Pope Francis continues to show improvement in his recovery from double pneumonia. The Vatican reported that he is no longer relying on mechanical ventilation and is reducing supplemental oxygen. Although the pneumonia infection is still present, it is under control. On a significant feast day, he participated in Mass, marking 12 years since his papal installation. His hospital stay began on February 14 due to a severe lung infection. Italian President Mattarella sent him a letter celebrating his achievements and wishing him a quick recovery.
For two nights in a row, he hasn't needed to use the noninvasive mechanical ventilation mask, which pumps oxygen into his lungs, and doctors said its use had been "suspended."
Despite the ongoing challenges of pneumonia, Francis has continued with his public duties, concelebrating Mass on a significant feast day marking his 12th anniversary as pope.
The Vatican indicated that Pope Francis' pneumonia infection is not completely eliminated but is under control, with a significant reduction in his reliance on supplemental oxygen during the day.
Italian President Sergio Mattarella commemorated the anniversary of Francis' installation with a letter praising his initiatives and offering best wishes for a speedy recovery.
