In a statement, Vatican spokesman Matteo Bruni said, “Based on the predictable outcome, the Holy Father could be released in the next few days.”

After his weekly general audience in St Peter’s Square on Wednesday, Pope Francis was taken to the hospital to undergo a number of tests. The Vatican in a statement said that the visit and tests were planned.
Shortly after, Matteo Bruni said that the pontiff’s schedule for Thursday had been cleared “to make space for the continuation of tests should that be necessary,” as per the news report.
Later, Matteo Bruni in a statement said, “In recent days Pope Francis complained of some respiratory difficulties and this afternoon he went to Policlinico A. Gemelli for some medical checks.”
He further added, “The outcome of the same showed a respiratory infection (excluding Covid-19 infection) that will require a few days of appropriate hospital medical therapy. Pope Francis is touched by the many messages received and expresses his gratitude for the closeness and prayer.”
Pope Francis, who as a young man suffered from severe pneumonia and had part of a lung removed has had a history of health issues, as per the CNN report. He was often seen using a walking stick and is sometimes using a wheelchair due to pain in his right knee.
