The youngest person infected with coronavirus in Alexandria, nine-year-old Lamar Ahmed, left al-Agamy Hospital on Tuesday after being placed under quarantine for nine days with her mother Heba al-Nashar, her grandmother and her aunt, all of whom were also infected with coronavirus.
Lamar and her grandmother made a complete recovery and left the hospital, according to Lamar’s mother, who is still under quarantine.
