Chen Yihe is the eldest pneumonia patient diagnosed with coronavirus. After 15 days of treatment in Jinyintan Hospital, he was discharged and will continue to recuperate at home.

Chen was once in critical condition as he suffered from high fever and diarrhea at the beginning of his medical treatment. Doctors and nurses took turns working to bring his temperature down. As Chen was in a quarantine ward, nurses were responsible for his medical treatment and daily care.

"Thank you for taking good care of me these past days. You worked with devotion, unafraid of getting infected yourselves," said Chen before getting discharged, adding "I thank the medical staff for their careful treatment. I am very spirited and not a patient anymore. I am a healthy elderly person now.”He also wrote a letter of thanks to the hospital.
