Pope Francis will be discharged from the hospital on Sunday and will need two months of rest in the Vatican. This was announced on Saturday by one of his attending physicians, reports UNN with reference to Reuters.
Context
88-year-old Francis was hospitalized on February 14 with a severe respiratory infection that required treatment.
Earlier on Saturday, the Vatican said that Francis also plans to appear for the first time in five weeks on Sunday, blessing from the window of his ward at the Gemelli Roman hospital, where he is struggling with bilateral pneumonia.
The Pope has only been seen in public once during his stay in the hospital, in a photograph released by the Vatican last week showing the pontiff praying in the hospital chapel.
