Pope to make first public appearance since illness, Vatican says

Pope Francis will make his first public appearance in five weeks on Sunday, where he will give his blessing and greet a crowd from Rome’s Gemelli hospital, the Vatican have said.
The 88-year-old has been recovering from double pneumonia.
He has only been seen by the public once since he was admitted to hospital on 14 February, in a photograph released by the Vatican last week, which showed him praying in a hospital chapel.
The Vatican said on Friday that the Pope’s condition is improving, but one official said he may have to “relearn to speak” following his prolonged use of high-flow oxygen therapy.
“The pope is doing very well, but high-flow oxygen dries everything out. He needs to relearn how to speak, but his overall physical condition is as it was before,” Cardinal Victor Fernandez said on Friday, Reuters reported.
