Just a few weeks before her 117th birthday, Sister Andr, a nun born in 1904, tested positive for the coronavirus on January 16. Sister Andr, who resides in the Sainte Catherine Labour nursing home in Toulon, France, showed no symptoms. "I didn't know I had it," she said in an interview with BFMTV. "No, I wasn't scared because I wasn't scared of dying." Andr had worked as a governess and a teacher, lived through two world wars in addition to the 1918 Spanish Flu pandemic (which she didn't contract), and became a nun in 1944. Andr is the oldest living person in France and the second-oldest person alive today, after Kane Tanaka in Japan, who was born on Jan. 2, 1903. Sister Andr turned 117 on February 11.
