A 107-year-old woman has recovered from coronavirus, making her likely to be the oldest survivor worldwide. Cornelia Ras and 40 others fell ill the day after attending a church service in Goeree-Overflakkee, Netherlands, to mark her her 107th birthday.
Along with many residents of her care home, she was diagnosed with covid-19. Twelve of those 40 have now died, but Cornelia was told by her doctors on Monday that she had beaten the infection.
Cornelia's niece Maaike de Groot told the Dutch newspaper AD: "We did not expect her to survive this. "She takes no medicines, still walks well and gets down on her knees every night to thank the Lord.
