A 95 year old Italian woman has just recovered from the deadly coronavirus, making her the oldest known woman in Italy to recover.
The woman identified as Alma Clara Corsini made a full recovery from Covid-19 without the need for antiviral treatment after her body showed a “great reaction” to the disease, doctors say.
The grandmother was taken to hospital on 5 March after showing signs of the illness but has already returned to her home in Fanano, Modena, after a remarkable recovery.
According to Italian media, Ms Corsini’s health improved without ‘antiviral therapy’ with the pensioner telling Italian newspaper Gazzetta Di Modena:
“Yes, yes, I’m fine. They were good people who looked after me well, and now they’ll send me home in a little while.”
