Doctors in Russia's Ivanovo Region have cured a 101-year-old woman of COVID-19, although she was in a severe condition.

Axar.az reports citing foreign media that regional Health Minister Artur Fokin said at a briefing on Thursday.

"Yesterday, we had such an interesting case: a woman aged 101, who had been successfully treated from COVID-19, was discharged from the cardiac dispensary. Let me remind you that our hospital receives those who are in a moderate or severe condition," Fokin stated, noting that he could not provide further details on the patient since it contradicts the legislation on medical secrecy.
