In a heartening development, a 105-year-old Afghan woman living in Noida defeated the novel coronavirus. The centenarian woman, identified as Rabia Ahmadi, had tested COVID-19 positive on July 15 and was admitted to Sharda hospital in Uttar Pradesh.

Speaking about her fight against COVID-19, Rabia said, "I'll live till the Gods want me to. It's better not to think about COVID. One should always look forward in life. I think that's how I have lived so long. Tomorrow, I am going to offer namaaz on Eid-ul-Juha."
