A newborn baby has tested positive for Covid-19 in London and has become the world’s youngest patient of the sickness.
The mother of the child has rushed to the hospital days ago.
She had pneumonia but she was only tested positive after the baby was born.
The pair are being treated in different hospitals right now.
As said, the mother is in a worsen condition than her baby.
The newborn baby is admitted to North Middlesex Hospital where she is getting the right care and treatment.
Her mother, on the other hand, was admitted to a high infectious hospital.
After the mother was diagnosed positive with the virus, the doctors wasted no time.
As soon as the baby was out in the world, it was diagnosed.
Sadly the results were positive.
The doctors are still struggling to find out how a baby gets the virus.
They are finding out if the baby gets infection through the womb or after it arrives in the world.
Till now only two newborn babies have been reported with the sickness and so there is not much information present on the cases.
Health officials are working on finding the source of infection in the baby.
At the same time, the medical staff taking care of the two has been asked to self-isolate.
The health experts have said that both pregnant women and babies are at a mild stage of getting the infections. Both of them do not fall in the vulnerable age group which is mostly the older people, the senior citizens of the world.
The fear of covid-19 is taking over the UK. In recent pictures taken around the country, parks were found almost empty.
Train stations were almost deserted. People are paying extra attention and are keeping indoors.
The fears have spread around the world already and people are keeping in lockdowns to avoid the spread.
The death toll in the UK has risen to 35 already.
