Europe's oldest person survived COVID-19 without showing any symptoms

Lucile Randon, who took the name of Sister Andre in 1944, tested positive for COVID-19 just before her 117th birthday. 

Sister Andre developed no symptoms.

Sister Andre, who is blind and uses a wheelchair, told social media that she "didn't even realise I had it".

According to BBC News, Sister Andre was not afraid to die. 

David Tavella, spokesperson for the nursing home, said: “She didn’t ask me about her health but about her routine. She wanted to know, for example, if the meals and bedtimes were going to change. She showed no fear of the illness. In fact, she was more worried about the other residents.” 

Sister Andre isolated separately from other residents in her retirement home in Toulon, southern France.
