Pope's condition 'stable', mechanical ventilation discontinued

On Sunday evening, the Holy See Press Office released the following update on Pope Francis' health:

"Today, too, the Holy Father's clinical condition has remained stable. The Pope has not required non-invasive mechanical ventilation, but only supplemental high-flow oxygenation. He does not have a fever.

Given the complexity of the clinical picture, the prognosis remains guarded.

This morning, the Holy Father participated in Holy Mass, together with those who have been caring for him during these days of hospitalization. Afterward, he alternated rest with prayer."

Pope Francis has been hospitalised with breathing difficulties since the 14th February.
