A Ukrainian died from COVID-19 hours after she gave birth to a baby girl.
The thirty-six-year-old mother, Galina, had contracted the disease while at an Ivano-Frankivsk’s perinatal center in Ukraine.
The woman was admitted to the perinatal center on 10th March and displayed no signs of the coronavirus disease back them.
However, she fell seriously ill on her 19th day at the unit. It was noted by a local health authorities spokesperson that the condition of Galina suddenly worsened on 29th March.
The oxygen level in blood sharply decreased and her body temperature increased to 102.2F or 39C.
Galina started experiencing trouble in breathing and shortly developed pneumonia. Then, she tested positive for the coronavirus disease.
However, on the same day, she delivered a healthy baby girl weighing 5.5 pounds in the evening. After that, Galina’s condition became critical and she was rushed in ICU and put on a ventilator.
Oksana Stasevich, Galina’s devastated relative, said that the family was only told that Galina was dying and was allowed to enter and bid her goodbye.
Oksana believes that the new mother contracted the disease at the perinatal unit and blamed the staff for Galina’s death.
She added that Galina shared the award with 2 women who suffered from fever. The three were in the same room for a couple of days before the 2 ill patients were isolated.
She further noted that a doctor from the unit told her that they had confirmed the virus infection in the staff about 3 weeks ago. Oksana also revealed that none of the doctors were wearing medical masks or wearing protective gear.
The city authorities noted that a day before the new mother was admitted, two medics were tested positive for coronavirus and another one had tested positive some days ago.
