MUSCAT: In a major achievement in its battle against the coronavirus pandemic, an elderly couple in Oman, who had tested positive for Covid-19, have recovered completely.
The two elderly coronavirus patients from Muscat offer hope at a time the number of cases in the country has been climbing. The 85-year-old husband and his 79-year-old wife were being treated at the Ruwi Health Centre.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), patients older than 60 are at higher risk from the infection, and recovery is usually fraught with age-related complications. “This is a remarkable achievement in our battle against the Covid-19 pandemic. Let us all be inspired by the recovery of these elderly couples,” added an official at the Ministry of Health.
