103-year-old who survived COVID-19 honored by her alma mater

Catherine Miller Morgan Harris turned 103 years old on June 8. She survived a COVID-19 infection last year.

A "resilient" centenarian who survived COVID-19 enjoyed a birthday celebration with a visit from the president of her alma mater. Catherine Miller Morgan Harris said she turned 104 years old on June 8, though the Census lists Harris as having turned 103. Harris, who lives at a senior care center in her hometown of Florence, South Carolina, tested positive for COVID-19 on April 28, 2020, her niece Elizabeth Coleman said. Her symptoms weren't severe -- she had a dry cough, low temperature and her oxygen was steady -- and she avoided hospitalization, Coleman told ABC News. The staff kept a close eye on her, and she recovered, Coleman said.
