Anna Del Priore beat the Spanish Flu when she was just six years old. Now, more than 100 years later, she's successfully recovered from COVID-19.

Sunrise Senior Living shared a photo on Facebook of the 107-year-old smiling and dancing after beating the virus.

"She always danced, always loved music," Del Priore's granddaughter tells the Asbury Park Press. "As soon as she hears music, her foot starts tapping."

"Dancing makes you feel good," Del Priore says. "I want to keep my health."

Turns out, good health may be in Del Priore's genes. The Asbury Park Press reports that her younger sister, 105-year-old Helen Guzzone, also successfully beat both COVID-19 and the Spanish Flu.
