Nine Chinese centenarians who recovered from COVID-19
GOOD APPETITE RETURNS
It has been more than three months since 108-year-old Huang Yafen, the eldest COVID-19 patient in south China's Hainan Province, was cured of COVID-19 infection and left the hospital.
On Aug. 14, Huang, a member of the Li ethnic group who lives in the coastal city of Sanya, developed a cough, fever and muscle soreness, and she returned a positive result for a COVID-19 nucleic acid test. Confirmed as a mild case, she was transferred to the Haikou People's Hospital.
"We didn't expect that the elderly would be infected with COVID-19, and we were very worried," said Chen Guiying, Huang's granddaughter-in-law, adding that after Huang became infected, her family did not tell her the situation, fearing that she would be afraid.
The hospital's expert team carefully worked out the diagnosis and treatment plan for Huang. Chen stayed with her to help her communicate with the medical staff, and the centenarian actively cooperated with the treatment.
Ten days later, Huang recovered. When she was discharged from hospital, Huang gave a thumbs up to the medical staff to show her gratitude.
Chen said that Huang's health and life have not been affected, and she still has a good appetite like before. In September, her family celebrated the 108th birthday with her.
