A centenarian is believed to be the oldest person to beat coronavirus after contracting the killer bug just days after celebrating his 101st birthday.
101-year-old Mr. Dai from Hubei, China, was diagnosed with the novel coronavirus shortly after celebrating his birthday.
While the virus is known to be especially dangerous to older people, the pensioner has recovered from it after a one-week treatment at Wuhan Third Hospital.
Before Mr. Dai, the oldest coronavirus patient to have beaten the killer bug was a 98-year-old pensioner.
According to the reports, Mr. Dai looked “very energetic” as he had beaten the virus and left the hospital.
“He often talked about his 92-year-old wife. He said he needed to get better soon so he could go home and take care of her,” his matron, Li Lai, explained.
As the hospital confirmed, Mr. Dai was quarantined in February, shortly after experiencing coronavirus symptoms following his birthday.
Following his treatment and quarantine, Dai was thrilled to be able to return home to his wife.
In another recent coronavirus case, a terrified husband has locked his wife in their bathroom after suspecting her of developing coronavirus because she met with her Chinese friend.
The bizarre incident occurred in Lithuania where the woman in question called the police for help after her husband had locked her inside the bathroom.
According to the reports, the husband became worried about contracting the deadly virus after his wife met with her Chinese friend who came to the country from Italy.
After the police rushed to the couple’s home, the husband defended his actions saying her was “consulting on the phone with doctors” before coming up with the solution to lock up his wife.
Upon freeing the woman from forced quarantine, the police left the scene whereas the man wasn’t arrested and the woman didn’t press charges.
Just in case, the wife was also tested for coronavirus and the results came back negative.
