"The return of the Pope to the Domus Sanctae Marthae [the pontiff's residence] in the Vatican is scheduled for tomorrow based on the results of the latest tests carried out this morning," Bruni said.
The spokesman added that the pontiff had a good evening yesterday, with the clinical course of his illness being "normal." In particular, Pope Francis had dinner together with doctors, nurses, assistants and gendarmes who helped him during the hospitalization. In the morning, the pontiff had breakfast, read newspapers and returned to work.
Pope Francis has been experiencing certain breathing difficulties. On Wednesday, he was taken to the Gemelli University Hospital with a respiratory infection to undergo medical examinations. On Thursday, Pope Francis was officially diagnosed with a viral bronchitis. In connection with the pontiff's illness, the Vatican canceled his audiences on Thursday and Friday.
