Sister Andre of France will celebrate her 117th birthday this week, and will also be celebrating her victory over COVID-19.
Sister Andre tested positive for the virus on January 16 while in her retirement home in southern France. Reportedly, Andre displayed no symptoms.
Sister Andre, born Lucile Randon, says she wasn't afraid to potentially succumb to the virus, saying: "No, I wasn’t scared because I wasn’t scared to die… I’m happy to be with you, but I would wish to be somewhere else – join my big brother and my grandfather and my grandmother," according to Reuters.
Sister Andre, who is the second oldest person in the world behind Japan's Kane Tanaka, is in good shape, according to a spokesman for the Sainte Catherine retirement home in which she resides.
"We consider her to be cured. She is very calm and she is looking forward to celebrating her 117th birthday on Thursday," the spokesperson said.
Sister Andre also lived through the Spanish Flu pandemic of 1918, having been born in 1904.
