Shanghai's fourth patient to recover from the novel coronavirus infection was released from hospital on Tuesday.

The 21-year-old woman was identified only by her surname, Jin. She is a Shanghai resident who used to live in Wuhan, Central China's Hubei province. She sought medical treatment for fever and was diagnosed with the infection and hospitalized at the Shanghai Public Health Clinical Center on Wednesday.

"I am grateful for the dedication and care of the doctors and nurses at the center," the woman said at the gate of the emergency wards building at the center. She recovered quite quickly.

According to Chen Liang, deputy director of the Shanghai Public Health Clinical Center, the patient "had normal body temperature for three days in a row, her symptoms in the respiratory tract were relieved, and pulmonary imaging showed the root cause has been well absorbed."
