On March 18th, 57 patients took the discharge certificate carefully prepared by Wuhan Leishenshan Hospital and said goodbye to the medical staff. As of the 18th, the hospital's cumulative number of discharged patients has exceeded 1,000, reaching a total of 1031. Among them, the 999th and 1000th discharged patients are a couple.

Mr. Tang, 50, and Ms. Lu, 40, lived in Hongshan District, Wuhan City. Both were diagnosed with coronavirus pneumonia on February 17th. They were transferred to Leishenshan Hospital of Wuhan on the evening of February 27th and were hospitalized in the same room .

Ms. Lu said that she had mild symptoms, only a low fever, and her husband's condition was slightly more serious. Both of them were a little panic when they were first hospitalized, but the anxiety was quickly eliminated by effective treatment and proper care by medical staff.

In addition to conventional antiviral and anti-infective treatments, medical staff also conduct psychological counseling for the couple every day. When learnt that Ms. Lu liked to drink yogurt, the nurses gave their yoghurt provided by the hospital to her every day. They also brought oranges, bananas and other fruits for the couple. After more than half a month of treatment, their physical condition gradually improved and reached discharge standards.

At 13:30 on March 18th, Professor Wang Xinghuan, the dean of Wuhan Leishenshan Hospital, Professor Yuan Yufeng and Cai Lin, the vice presidents, issued a discharge certificate for the couple, and passed the two roses donated by the society to Leishenshan Hospital to them to wish them forever love, peace and happiness.

"Thanks to the medical staff for their meticulous care, this experience will be unforgettable." Knowing that they are the 999th and 1000th discharged patients of the hospital, the couple decided to keep the certificate and the flower at home as a piece of collection.

On the same day, 57 patients met the discharge standards stipulated in the "Diagnosis and Treatment of Pneumonia of New Coronavirus Infection (Trial Implementation Seventh Edition)" through observation of clinical symptoms, imaging assessment and nucleic acid detection, and were discharged from Leishenshan Hospital.
