A 100-year-old woman in Surabaya, East Java, has recovered from COVID-19 after spending a month in the hospital.

The woman, identified as Kamtin, was the country’s oldest COVID-19 patient.

She came down with a fever and cough on April 13 before being admitted to the Porth Health Centre (PHC) Hospital in Surabaya on April 20 and undergoing a swab test a day later. On April 28, doctors told her she had tested positive for COVID-19.

She was allowed to return home on May 17 after doctors declared her free of the disease.
