A 103-year-old woman in Iran has recovered after being
infected with the new coronavirus, state media reported, despite overwhelming
evidence the elderly are most at risk from the disease.
The unnamed woman had been hospitalised in the central city of Semnan for about
a week, IRNA news agency said.
But she was “discharged after making a complete recovery”, Semnan University of
Medical Sciences head Navid Danayi was quoted as saying by IRNA late Tuesday.
The woman was the second elderly patient in Iran to have survived the disease.
The other was a 91-year-old man from Kerman, in the southeast of Iran, the news
agency said.
After being sick for three days, he recovered on Monday despite having
pre-existing medical conditions including high blood pressure and asthma, it
added.
The report did not say how the pair were treated.
Since Iran announced its first deaths on February 19, the novel coronavirus has
spread to all of the country’s 31 provinces and killed nearly 1,000 people.
