VATICAN, March 29 – RIA Novosti. A medical examination revealed that Pope Francis has a respiratory infection, his treatment will require several days of therapy in the hospital, Matteo Bruni, head of the Holy See’s press service, told reporters. In recent days, Pope Francis has complained of some breathing difficulties, and this afternoon he went to the Polyclinic Gemelli for some medical examinations. “Their results revealed a respiratory infection, which will require several days of appropriate hospital medical treatment,” Bruni said. According to him, the checks ruled out the possibility of contracting a coronavirus infection. Bruni added that Pope Francis was touched by the many messages sent to him and his thanks “for the closeness and for the prayer”. Earlier, Bruni said the pontiff “has been in hospital since Wednesday afternoon for some previously scheduled checks.” The Corriere della Sera newspaper, citing a source at a Roman hospital, said the pontiff entered the cardiology department “as a precaution” after “heart problems”. Pope Francis was taken to the clinic by ambulance. Other local media reported that the pontiff began experiencing breathing problems and underwent a CT scan, which returned negative results. The Rainnews24 news channel reported that the Vatican had canceled audiences with Pope Francis on Thursday and Friday. In July 2021, at the same Gemelli Hospital, Pope Francis underwent planned surgery for diverticular disease of the sigmoid colon. The operation lasted about three hours and required resection of the left side of the large intestine. Pope Francis spent ten days at the clinic.
