The Holy See Press Office provides an update on the Pope’s health: no new episodes of asthma-like respiratory distress; a slight reduction in oxygen flow and levels; and improved test results. His mild kidney insufficiency is not a cause for concern. Pope Francis has resumed work and, in the evening, called the parish in Gaza.

Pope Francis rested well overnight, according to the Holy See Press Office on Tuesday morning.

The Press Office noted on Monday evening that his clinical condition remains critical but showed slight improvement during the day.
