An American women, Sylvia Goldsholl, aged 108 has recovered from COVID-19 after being infected with the disease last month.
New Jersey Governor, Phil Murphy on Thursday said the woman who have lived through both the 1918 flu pandemic and current coronavirus pandemic tested positive last month.
“Sylvia Goldscholl is 108 years old. Last month, she tested positive for COVID-19 and has beaten it,” the governor, who doubles as a financier, said.
“A tremendous life, a tremendous spirit, and a tremendous show of strength. So, to you, Sylvia, we send you all our best for many more years to come.”
Goldsholl, who was said to have been living at a nursing home in Allendale, New Jersey, when she became ill, is now reportedly the oldest person in her state to recover from the disease.
“I survived everything because I was determined to survive,” the American, who is also said to be only seven when the 1918 pandemic struck, was quoted by News 12 to have said last week.
