A 113-year-old woman in Spain has reportedly made a full recovery after getting infected with the coronavirus in April.
Maria Branyas is “doing fine” and was “bored” while isolating in her room, according to her nursing home.
Branyas’ daughter Rosa told reporters her mother has made an “amazing recovery” and was “in shape, wanting to talk” after weeks of isolation in her nursing home.

“She feels good now, she took a test last week and the result was negative,” a spokesperson for Maria Branyas’ nursing home told the AFP news agency.
Believed to be Spain’s oldest living person, Maria Branyas was born in San Francisco in 1907 to Spanish parents, according to the outlet. She moved with her family to Spain during World War I, eventually surviving the Spanish Flu Pandemic of 1918 and the Spanish Civil War.
