Pope Francis has been admitted to the Gemelli hospital to receive treatment for a bronchitis that has been afflicting him for a week. This was confirmed by the Press Office of the Holy See on the morning of February 14.

In spite of the admission, the Pontiff received early Friday morning the Prime Minister of Slovakia and has not changed his agenda, full of celebrations and audiences in this Jubilee year.

During his stay at the Gemelli hospital, the medical team will perform some tests on Pope Francis and will apply a treatment to help alleviate the discomfort he has been suffering for days and which has prevented him from delivering the speeches prepared for various audiences.
