Pope Francis was hospitalized for precautionary testing after falling ill with the flu.
The CT scan showed no pulmonary complications, and he returned to Casa Santa Marta.
This is the second time this month that the Pope’s activities have been affected by illness.
“In the early hours of the afternoon, Pope Francis underwent a CT scan at the Gemelli Isola Hospital in Rome, to exclude the risk of pulmonary complications,” the Holy See Press Office stated.
“The test gave a negative result and the pope returned to Casa Santa Marta,” they added.
The 86-year-old Pope has experienced various medical setbacks in recent years, including hospitalization for abdominal surgery in June and treatment for bronchitis in March.
“The Holy Father’s audiences scheduled for this morning are canceled due to a mild flu.”
There is no information on his ability to participate in upcoming events, such as the COP28 United Nations Climate Change Conference in the United Arab Emirates.
