A 105-year-old woman, Asma Beevi, on Wednesday was cured of COVID-19 disease and was discharged from the hospital in the southern Indian state of Kerala.

She thus became the oldest patient in Kerala who was cured of the disease, which early saw an aged couple -- 93-year-old man and 88-year-old woman, were the previous elderly to have been cured.

Beevi was discharged from the state-run ESI Medical College at Kollam.

She got this disease from her daughter and after she was admitted to the hospital, a specially constituted medical board oversaw the treatment.

On a few occasions, her condition deteriorated, but Beevi fought back and has now gone home.
