He alternates between non-invasive mechanical ventilation at night and high-flow oxygen therapy during the day via nasal cannula.
During the morning, the Pope spent about 20 minutes in prayer in the chapel on the tenth floor of the hospital, where his room is situated. Throughout the day, he also carried out some work-related activities.
