A 104-year-old woman has recovered after being sickened by the coronavirus, according to a report out of Italy.
Ada Zanusso’s survival story was reported Saturday in La Repubblica.
She lived in a nursing home in Lessona where 20 other residents died of the virus — making her recovery even more remarkable, according to the paper.
Tests in March confirmed her coronavirus infection after she became severely ill.
