Macao's last novel coronavirus patient recovers, discharged from hospital

Macao's last novel coronavirus (COVID-19) patient had recovered from the disease and was discharged from the hospital, the special administrative region's health authorities said here on Friday.

The Health Bureau of Macao said the 64-year-old female patient was discharged due to the improvement of her health after twice negative test results for any remaining presence of the novel coronavirus.

The woman is a Macao resident, who had been diagnosed with the disease by Macao's Centro Hospitalar Conde de Sao Januario on Feb. 2 and quarantined and treated in that hospital for 34 days.

The bureau added that the patient had been transferred to another quarantine facility in Macao for further medical observation and recovery.

The SAR government's Health Bureau Director Lei Chin Ion said all the ten confirmed COVID-19 infection cases in Macao had recovered from the disease and been discharged from the hospital.

Up to now, Macao has no COVID-19 patient, no death case caused by COVID-19, nor any COVID-19 infection acquired in hospital, he added.
