What is known about the health of the Pope: details from the Vatican.

Pope Francis had a peaceful night in his room after recovering from a respiratory crisis, reports Vatican News.

The report states that the Pope's condition has slightly improved after laboratory test results showed no asthmatic disorders and did not raise concerns about his mild renal insufficiency. Oxygen therapy continues, although with a somewhat reduced flow and oxygen level.

88-year-old Francis has been hospitalized since February 14 due to bilateral pneumonia. With the emergence of this news, there have been discussions in the media about the possible death of the pontiff and speculations regarding the future conclave - the closed elections of a new Pope. However, a representative of the Swiss Guard of the Vatican denied the rumors about the Pope's funeral, which, at the behest of the pontiff himself, he will not endure this time.
