Finally, we have some good news in regards to the deadly coronavirus outbreak.

A four-year-old girl from China, who was admitted to the Sultanah Maliha Hospital in Langkawi after being infected by the virus, has reportedly recovered.

New Straits Times, quoting Health director-general Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah, said the girl is now in good health and was allowed to return home.

“The results of the 2019-nCoV detection test conducted twice on the patient turned out negative (of the novel coronavirus). She is now in good health and allowed to leave (discharged from the hospital).

The first to recover from coronavirus in Malaysia

“This showed that the 2019-nCoV infection is treatable and that patient can fully recover, similar to many other cases that have been reported in China."

“Perception among the public that the 2019-nCoV is fatal (could not be treated) after one has been infected by the virus is certainly wrong,” he said in a statement.

The girl is the first patient in Malaysia that has been cured from the infection.
