In the meantime, the head of the Catholic Church has been in the Gemelli Clinic in the west of Rome for almost three weeks. The Pope is suffering from severe pneumonia, which has affected both lungs. Francis has had several bouts of breathlessness, which is why he now has to wear a mask over his mouth and nose at night for mechanical ventilation. The doctors are reluctant to give a prognosis on the further course of the disease.
