The first confirmed patient with novel coronavirus in South China's Guangzhou was cured and discharged from a hospital on Thursday.
The female patient, surnamed Cheng, was admitted to Guangzhou Eighth People's Hospital on Jan 20, according to the city's health commission.
On the same day, an elderly patient with the disease, who had been in serious condition, also recovered and was discharged from the same hospital.
Eighty-one-year-old Zheng, who came from Wuhan, Central China's Hubei province, to visit relatives, had a fever before she was admitted to the hospital's intensive care unit.
Both patients had proprietary traditional Chinese medicine at the hospital, among other treatments.
