/ The Italian News Agency (ANSA) reported on Wednesday that Pope Francis was transferred to a hospital in Rome for medical tests, indicating that he has been suffering from influenza for days.
The 87-year-old Pope did not read a homily on Wednesday during a weekly audience with his audience, delegating the task to an aide and telling the audience he was not feeling well.
Days ago, the Vatican said in a statement that Pope Francis had cancelled his scheduled meetings on Saturday due to a mild case of influenza.
Pope Francis, 87, holds regular meetings with Vatican officials on Saturdays, in addition to private meetings.
The Pope has suffered from recurring health problems in recent months and was forced to cancel a trip to attend the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP28) in Dubai last December due to flu symptoms and pneumonia.
