The Vatican insists Pope Francis does NOT have Covid-19 but will need a few days of hospital care.
Close Staff Staying Put
Security and close aides are bunking down overnight at Rome’s Gemelli Hospital, right by the Pope’s side.
Busy Schedule Ahead
The pontiff is booked solid with key events before Easter. That includes Palm Sunday Mass this weekend, Holy Week services, Easter celebrations, and a big trip to Hungary at the end of April.
Keeping Active Despite Health Hurdles
Francis had colon surgery in 2021 and uses a wheelchair because of knee issues. Yet, he still stays on the move and travels abroad regularly.
