SURABAYA: A 100-year-old woman has recovered from COVID-19 in Indonesia, making her the country's oldest survivor of the deadly respiratory illness.

Kamtim, who like many Indonesians goes by one name, was discharged from hospital this week after a month of treatment in her hometown Surabaya, Indonesia's second-biggest city, officials said.East Java Governor Khofifah Indar Parawansa said she hoped Kamtim's story would give a boost to at-risk residents - the illness is especially dangerous for older people and those with chronic conditions.

"Every day I checked her condition with nurses and they always told me that she was very strong and diligent about taking her medicine," Aminah told AFP.READ: Jakarta likely to be ready for 'new normal' phase after Jun 4, says coordinating minister for economy"She probably got it when people from the neighbourhood came around to visit since she never goes outside," Aminah said.Indonesia has confirmed more than 26,000 cases of coronavirus and 1,613 deaths.

But the sprawling Southeast Asian archipelago of more than 260 million has among the lowest testing rates in the world. Researchers estimate the true number of virus infections and fatalities is several times the official toll.
