A COVID-19 patient who received a double-lung transplant was cured and became the world鈥檚 first to be discharged from a hospital yesterday in Wuhan, capital of Hubei Province.
After months of treatment, the man surnamed Cui, 65, was discharged from the Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University.
鈥淵our hard work is very much appreciated,鈥 Cui told the medics yesterday.
The retired worker developed a fever on January 23 and was diagnosed with COVID-19 on February 7.
