A 92-year-old wheelchair-bound woman who suffered a paralysis attack seven months ago, tested negative for coronavirus after completing the mandatory 14-day quarantine period. The woman tested positive for COVID-19 along with her four other family members and were admitted to Symbiosis Hospital in Lavale in the first week of April.
Dr Vijay Natrajan, the CEO of the hospital told ANI, “A 92-year-old woman who suffered a stroke recently and is paralysed from the left side down, recovered 14 days after she tested positive for COVID-19. Age is a factor but it does not mean anyone who gets the virus is going to die”. He added “she has no symptoms of the virus. However, she had suffered a stroke and one side of her body got paralysed. During her stay here, we checked all her health parameters”.
Earlier, an elderly couple, husband 93-year-old Thomas and his 88-year-old wife Mariamma from Kerala’s Pathanamthitta recovered from Covid-19.
