Coronavirus: 111-year-old Chilean woman recovers

At 111, Juana Zúñiga has become the oldest patient in Chile to recover from COVID-19, officials in the South American country have announced.
Ms Zúñiga tested positive after an outbreak at her care home.
Notwithstanding suffering from respiratory problems even before the pandemic, she was not seriously affected by the virus.
According to the BBC,”She did not have any symptoms and very few bouts of fever, which was good,” the care home’s director said.

The care home’s director, María Paz Sordo added that they had to move Ms Zúñiga, who is known as Juanita, to a different part of the home to keep her isolated from other residents. “Taking her out of her habitat was the most difficult thing.”

She has been a resident of the care home near the capital, Santiago, ever since her sister, with whom she lived, died six years ago.
