‘I Didn’t Know I Had It’: Elderly 107-Year-Old Woman Defeats COVID-19

By Published on December 16, 2020

A 107-year-old Minnesota woman survived COVID-19 after she was infected in the fall, Ecumen Detroit Lakes Community Home officials said, according to CNN.

Tillie Dybing has lived in the community home for five years, CNN reported Wednesday. Dybing turned 107 this summer and celebrated with nurses in the facility without her family to prevent the coronavirus from hitting the nursing home, KARE11 reported.

Dybing slept for awhile on one day in November and her daughter, Susan Berke, said she attempted to call her on a Saturday, according to KARE11. “I tried to call her Saturday morning and she didn’t answer. I called all day and called the nurse and she, they said, ‘well she’s sleeping.’” Berke said in a video interview with KARE11. “We were really concerned and thought, well, this is probably it.”

Berke said her mother woke up and felt alright, according to KARE11.

Dybing tested positive for the virus a week later and sleepiness was her only symptom, KARE11 reported.

Ecumen Detroit Lakes didn’t immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.
