He had difficulty in standing and couldn't get into the popemobile after the audience. When he grabbed the handrails, Francis couldn't get into the vehicle, so he was pushed in a wheelchair.
During the audience, an aide read Francis’ speech. He told the crowd it was "because I still have a cold and I cannot read well."
The Vatican’s press office announced on February 24 that Francis was suffering from a mild case of the flu. Days later, he was taken to Rome's Gemelli University Hospital for diagnostic tests.
