A 104-year-old World War II veteran celebrated his birthday with a socially distanced party after he fully recovered from the coronavirus.
William "Bill" Lapschies was put in isolation at the Edward C. Allworth Veterans' Home in Lebanon, Oregon, after first showing symptoms of COVID-19 on March 5, according to KOIN.
He was one of the first two residents at the facility to test positive for the virus. In total, the home has had 15 positive coronavirus cases, and two residents have died, the Oregon Department of Veterans' Affairs told KOIN.
