Chinese grandmother, 103, recovers from coronavirus after being treated for less than a week

The centenarian from Wuhan is two years older than the last record-holder, 101

Newsroom March 11 02:25

A 103-year-old grandmother has recovered from the coronavirus following six-day treatment in Wuhan.

The centenarian, Zhang Guangfen, was discharged from the hospital yesterday afternoon.

She is so far the oldest coronavirus patient to recover in China and two years older than the previous recorder-holder, 101.

Ms Zhang was cured within less than a week because ‘she did not have many underlying health conditions’, her doctor Zeng Yulan told the local press.
