She went through the nucleic acid test for the new coronavirus twice and both times with a negative result. A team of medical experts evaluated her situation and made the conclusion that she had reached the recovery criteria for the infection set by the National Health Commission.

Yesterday afternoon Shanghai's second and third patients, a 58-year-old woman and her 56-year-old husband, were released from quarantine and left the hospital. It took no more than 10 days for the couple to recover from the new coronavirus infection.

The first recovered patient in Shanghai was a 56-year-old woman from Wuhan, Central China's Hubei province. She also was the first patient in Shanghai diagnosed with the new coronavirus infection. She had a fever and lethargy before coming to Shanghai, and was quarantined on Jan 15 after visiting the fever clinic in the city, and released from the hospital on Friday.
