Coronavirus update: Two elderly patients who tested positive at Seattle nursing home 'have recovered

Two patients from a nursing home at the epicentre of the US’s coronavirus crisis appear to have made a recovery after having initially been tested positive for the disease.

In a rare piece of good news on a day when the global number of deaths from Covid-19 passed 11,000 and the total number of infections soared to 260,000, a spokesman for the Seattle area care home said two patients who tested positive, had taken a second test after days of hospital treatment and were now considered negative.

“It’s wonderful news for us,” Tim Killian, a spokesperson for the Life Care Centre of Kirkland, told The Independent.

“We have not transferred anybody to the hospital since last Friday.”
