Pope Francis had a good night and continues to rest, according to the Holy See Press Office on Thursday morning.

His clinical condition has remained stable for the last couple of days, with his doctors saying he has not had any further episodes of respiratory insufficiency.

On Wednesday evening, the Press Office said the Pope continues to use non-invasive mechanical ventilation during the night, while switching to supplemental, high-flow oxygenation in the daytime.

He spent Wednesday alternating between rest and work activities, and he called the parish priest of the Holy Family Catholic Church in Gaza.

Pope Francis has been receiving treatment for bilateral pneumonia at Rome's Gemelli Hospital since he was hospitalized on February 14.
