Pope Francis' health has remained stable over the past few days, and he carried out several work-related activities, according to the Holy See Press Office on Saturday evening.

"The Holy Father's clinical condition has remained stable in recent days, indicating a good response to therapy. A gradual, slight improvement has been observed," noted a statement. 

"The Holy Father has not run a fever. Gas exchanges have improved, and blood chemistry and hematologic tests remain stable," it continued. "To ensure that these initial improvements continue in the coming days, the doctors have chosen to prudently maintain a guarded prognosis."

"This morning, after receiving the Eucharist, the Holy Father spent time in prayer in the chapel of his private apartment. In the afternoon, he alternated between rest and work activities."

Pope Francis was admitted to Rome's Gemelli Hospital on February 14 to receive treatment for bilateral pneumonia.
