Pope Francis is not considered to be in imminent danger from the infection he arrived to the hospital with, a Vatican source said on Monday, as reported by CNN.
Since February 14, Pope Francis has been receiving treatment for bilateral pneumonia. He resumed non-invasive mechanical ventilation overnight, as per the schedule.
Pope Francis continues to have rest after having had a peaceful night in the hospital, Vatican News reported, citing Holy See Press Office's statement.
Pope Francis showed a "clear improvement" on Thursday after he was given intravenous antibiotics for a bronchitis infection, CNN reported. The pontiff could be released from the hospital in the next few days, according to the Vatican.
