A 103-year-old woman has become the oldest person to beat coronavirus and return home from the hospital.
Zhang Guangfen recovered from the COVID-19 virus after receiving treatment for just 6-days at a hospital in Wuhan, China. Wuhan is the Chinese city at the center of the coronoavirus outbreak.
The woman’s incredibly quick recovery was due to the fact she had no underlying health conditions apart from mild chronic bronchitis, her doctor Dr Zeng Yulan told reporters.
The newspaper published a video showing the woman being escorted out of the hospital to a waiting ambulance by a group of medical workers as she was discharged on Tuesday.
In addition to the recovery of Guangfen, a 100-year-old man with Alzheimer’s disease, hypertension and heart failure also recovered from the virus in Wuhan — after being treated by military doctors.
