Maria Branyas, who was born in the US, became infected in April at the Santa Maria del Tura care home in the eastern city of Olot, where she has lived for the past 20 years, and fought the respiratory illness off in isolation in her room.
Branyas, a mother of three, was isolated in her room for weeks, with only a single employee in protective gear allowed in to check on her, according to Catalan regional television TV3, which broadcast images of the centenarian.When an employee asks her for the secret of her long life, Branyas replies simply that she is lucky to enjoy “good health”.
Several articles have been published in Spanish media in recent years about Branyas, considered to be the oldest person in the country.
