A COVID-19 patient was discharged from hospital in Ayun Pa township of Gia Lai province, a coronavirus hotspot in the Central Highlands, after making a full recovery from the virus. 

The female patient (in red shirt) will self-quarantine at home
for another 14 days after being released from hospital.

The female patient, who was hospitalized on January 29 following her exposure to the SARS-CoV-2 virus, has tested negative five times during her hospitalization. She is in stable health condition, without showing flu-symptoms such as a fever, a cough or shortness of breath.
