A 101-year-old Italian man has been released from the hospital after recovering from COVID-19, according to a CNN report.

The man was admitted to a hospital in northeastern Italy last week after testing positive for the virus and left the hospital on Thursday, according to Gloria Lisi, the deputy mayor of Rimini, Italy.

Lisi said the recovery of the man, only known as “Mr. P,” is “truly extraordinary” and provided “hope for the future.”

Mr. P was born in 1919 amid the Spanish flu outbreak, where an estimated 30 million to 50 million people died due to the illness.
