Yesterday afternoon they also reported on his medical situation, indicating that “the control chest CT scan that the Holy Father underwent this afternoon, prescribed by the Vatican medical team and the medical team of the Policlinic ‘A. Gemelli’ Foundation, revealed the appearance of bilateral pneumonia that required new drug therapy.”
