– Supernatural Holy See has published an update on Pope Francis' state of health. According to the medical investigations carried out, the Holy Father shows "a polymicrobial infection of the respiratory tract". Shortly afterwards, the Vatican press office announced the cancellation of the audience of Wednesday, February 19, due to the Pope's hospitalization.
These results obliged the doctors of the Gemelli hospital to change the therapy that the Holy Father was receiving. Likewise, the Holy See communiqué indicates that the Pope's state of health presents "a complex clinical picture that will require an appropriate hospitalization".
The information comes after the spokespersons of the Vatican claimed that Pope Francis had slept and was responding well to medication.
