A 110-year-old man has recovered from Covid-19 at a hospital in Hyderabad, thus becoming probably one of the oldest patients in the country to recover from the dreaded virus, doctors said on Wednesday.
Ramananda Teertha was admitted to the government-run Gandhi Hospital here on 24 April with mild Covid symptoms and low saturation levels.
Gandhi Hospital superintendent Raja Rao said that Teertha has now recovered from Covid and his saturation levels have also improved to 97.
According to the doctors, Teertha has now tested negative for Covid but he will remain under observation at the general ward of the hospital for a few more days.
They said the centenarian had a miraculous recovery because he did not have any comorbidities.
Teertha has no family and lives alone at an ashram at Keesara near Hyderabad.
He met with an accident a few years ago and was admitted to the Gandhi Hospital where a doctor came forward to help him.
Anupama, a gynecologist, had arranged for food and shelter for the elderly person.

The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
