00:00Pope Francis is responding to treatment, but is not yet out of danger.
00:05The information was provided Friday at a press conference in Rome's Gemelli Hospital by
00:11members of the Pope's medical team, who said Francis is in good mood, joking as much
00:15as usual, and he's even begun working again.
00:19According to the medical team, the Pope is not attached to a ventilator, although he's
00:23still struggling with his breathing and consequently keeping his physical movements limited.
00:28But there is still a risk that germs in the Pope's respiratory tract might enter his
00:34bloodstream, causing sepsis.
00:37The specialist said the Holy Father would remain hospitalized at least another week,
00:42but his chronic respiratory issues will remain.
