The first person-to-person coronavirus patients in the U.S. were released from hospital Thursday.

The Chicago husband and wife, who are both in their 60s, are now in "home isolation," according to the Alexius Medical Center in Hoffman Estates, where they were being treated. The unidentified couple released a statement through the hospital.

"This has been the best healthcare experience we’ve ever had, but we’re definitely looking forward to getting home and getting life back to normal."

The wife had returned from Wuhan, China on Jan 13 and soon after was hospitalized. Her husband also became ill. Both were eventually diagnosed with coronavirus. Public health officials tracked the man's movements and assured the public that he had not been on any public trains or in large crowds.
