113-Year-Old Spanish Woman, Isolated In Room For Weeks, Beats Coronavirus

A 113-year-old woman recovered from the coronavirus in Spain, AFP reported on Wednesday. Maria Branyas is believed to be the oldest person living in the country.

Branyas was infected with Covid-19 in April at the Santa Maria del Tura care home in Spain’s eastern city of Olot. She has been living in the home for 20 years. Several others have died at the residence after being infected with the virus.

An unidentified spokeswoman told the news agency that Branyas survived the disease and is doing fine. “She had only displayed mild symptoms,” the spokeswoman added. “She feels good now. She took a test last week and the result was negative.”
