POPE FRANCIS ADMITTED TO HOSPITAL
Pope Francis has been admitted to a hospital in Rome with a respiratory infection. This comes shortly before Easter, which is the most important time within the Catholic church.
The 86-year-old pontiff will need to spend “a few days” in hospital for treatment, according to a Vatican statement on Wednesday.
The statement said the Pope had complained of breathing difficulties in recent days but tests have proven he hasn't contracted Covid19.
