"COME TO MY HOME FOR A GOOD MEAL"

Every morning, a 100-year-old woman surnamed Wang does breathing exercises that she was taught by a nurse when she received COVID-19 treatment in the hospital.

Wang, a resident of the city of Jilin, northeast China's Jilin Province, was diagnosed with COVID-19 during the city's epidemic resurgence in the spring.

With the help of the medical team, she overcame the disease in 10 days and is now recovering well.

Wang suffers from underlying diseases including coronary heart disease, and was diagnosed as a severe case by the national medical experts team sent to Jilin.

Wang Yuhong, director of the respiratory department at Jilin Municipal Central Hospital, said the medical team adopted tailored measures to treat the elderly patients.

Initially, she was depressed and didn't like to eat and talk. It was the medics who cheered her up and helped her mental and physical condition to gradually improve.

"I remember the names you wrote on the medical protection suits, so please come to my home for a good meal someday," Wang told the medical staff when she was discharged from the hospital.
