KUALA LUMPUR: A 63-year-old Chinese national who was the 10th person tested positive with the novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) has fully recovered and was allowed to return home this evening. Health director-general Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah, who confirmed this, said the man, who was being treated in an isolation ward at Kuala Lumpur Hospital, was given symptomatic treatment with continuous monitoring. "The patient was allowed to return home today,” he said in a statement. On Feb 8, a 40-year-old man, the fourth case of novel coronavirus in Malaysia, recovered from the illness and was discharged at 7.15pm. He was allowed to return home after the third test result came back negative.
