101-Year-Old Grandmother In The Netherlands Wins The COVID-19 Battle And Is Discharged

A 101-year-old grandmother in the Netherlands managed to beat the coronavirus, giving the world what her doctors called "a spark of hope" in the face of the pandemic.

The woman was admitted a week and a half ago to the IJsselland hospital, near Rotterdam with respiratory difficulties, and after doing the respective tests, she was positive for the coronavirus.

They kept her in isolation, but she has now recovered sufficiently to be discharged from the hospital.

"She is a tough woman, and it is great to see her follow medical advice, such as sneezing at her elbow and even telling me to keep the proper distance," said pulmonologist Sunil Ramlal, in a note published by the hospital.

Undoubtedly, this type of news, in which the elderly manage to win the fight against the coronavirus, provides hope for the pandemic, which has already claimed the lives of 41,494 people around the world.
