Nine Chinese centenarians who recovered from COVID-19
THANK YOU, MEDICS
Receiving a call from central China's Hunan Province, the son of another centenarian COVID-19 patient in Shanghai answered it at once and expressed thanks to the medics from Hunan.
The call was dialed from Changsha, capital of Hunan, from where a team of medical workers came all the way to support Shanghai's race against time and help treat local severe cases amid the city's virus resurgence earlier this year. His mother, surnamed Chen and aged 101, recovers pretty well after being discharged from hospital in May.
She is the second centenarian COVID-19 patient cured by the Hunan medical team sent to Shanghai. With hypertension, diabetes and other underlying conditions, the elder patient was in critical condition.
But a week's hospitalization and careful medical treatment helped her back to sound health conditions. "My mother now can watch television shows and has a good appetite," the son said.
