A 93-year-old Indian man has become the country’s oldest patient to survive the coronavirus infection, doctors say.
The man and his 88-year-old wife both recovered after testing positive about a month ago, and will be discharged in a few days, hospital officials said.
The couple lives in the the southern state of Kerala, and were infected by their daughter and son-in-law, who returned from Italy.
The elderly couple’s recovery has made headlines across the country, and has been hailed by medical professionals since both also suffered from age-related problems. The man also had hypertension and diabetes – underlying conditions which have proved to be fatal in so many cases across the world.
