Italy’s Prime Minister, Giorgia Meloni, has provided the latest update on Pope Francis, who is currently in hospital.

The Pope has been diagnosed with pneumonia, a serious infection that can inflame and scar the lungs, causing chest pain and making breathing more difficult.

He was admitted to Rome’s Gemelli Hospital last Friday with a respiratory infection affecting both lungs.

However, speaking about the Pope, Meloni said the 88-Year-Old was very alert and responsive.

In a statement on Wednesday, Meloni said she was “very happy to have found him [the Pope] alert and responsive.”

“We joked as always. He hasn’t lost his proverbial sense of humour,” she added.

Meloni also offered the Pope her best wishes for a speedy recovery on behalf of the Italian government and the entire country.

Earlier, the Vatican said medical tests and a chest X-ray revealed “a complex picture.”

The Pope has reportedly told confidants that he may not be able to survive a case of pneumonia.
