Vatican City: Pope Francis' condition is very serious, a medical bulletin says. The Vatican said his condition is serious and has worsened since yesterday. A medical bulletin had been released this morning saying that Pope Francis had to be given high doses of oxygen after experiencing shortness of breath, which is part of his asthma.

His father's condition remains serious, and as explained yesterday, the Pope is not out of danger. Today's blood tests also revealed thrombocytopenia related to anemia. The Vatican clarified that the Pope is still being monitored. The Vatican had earlier announced that he has a severe lung infection. The Pope, who has severe pneumonia in both lungs, is continuing antibiotic treatment. The Vatican had announced the other day that the lung infection has now subsided during treatment.
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni visited Pope Francis the other day. The Italian Prime Minister said that she met and spoke with the Pope and wished him a speedy recovery.
