While he typically visits his residence in Castel Gandolfo on Tuesdays, the Holy See Press Office stated he will not travel there during his recovery.
His upcoming schedule remains partially uncertain, as officials have not confirmed if he will proceed with a scheduled visit to Assisi on October 27.
