The Vatican has provided an update on Pope Francis’s condition, stating that he remains in a critical state.

This follows an announcement on Saturday that the Pope had suffered an asthma-like attack and required oxygen and a blood transfusion.

Pope Francis, who is 88 years old, is currently hospitalized in Rome with what was initially diagnosed as a respiratory infection.

The Vatican has confirmed that he is receiving high-flow oxygen therapy and remains under close medical supervision.
