Though his condition had improved, he will remain in the hospital for further treatment, the Vatican said in a statement.
Pope Francis is responding well to treatment and has shown a "gradual, mild improvement" in recent days as he continues his recovery from double pneumonia.
The pope’s doctors report that given that his “clinical condition continues to be stable” and “the improvements of recent days,” they have removed “the guarded prognosis” that they have retained throughout these past 25 days.
