This should send a message to society, especially those above 60 years of age, that if a 92-year-old woman who had had a stroke can defeat the virus, there is no need to panic, he said.

The woman’s 55-year-old son, who had also contracted the virus, said initially the family was in shock after learning that four of them including his mother had the virus. He appealed people not to panic.
