Medical staff cheer as Alye Gunduz, 93 years old, who was treated for Covid-19 is escorted to be discharged from the Istanbul University Cerrahpasa medical faculty hospital after ten days of treatment. April 10, 2020.
"It is promising because patients at this age and with chronic diseases are most of the time unable to recover because they are at highest risk from Covid-19," chief physician Zekayi Kutlubay told AFP. The Cerrahpasa Medical Faculty has responded fast since the outbreak in mid-March, turning its operating theatres into intensive care units and creating special COVID-19 sections -- separating ordinary patients from others infected with the deadly disease.
"We are taking all the protective measures but it is not guaranteed that we will not get infected," he said.
One 93 doesn’t offer hope what’s the youngest death?, she is one of the lucky ones.
