A two-month-old baby with coronavirus is on a ventilator and her mother is banned from sitting next to her.
Ashley Hildebrand, from Lexington, South Carolina, said her two-month-old daughter Ellie showed no coronavirus symptoms.
On Friday, Ellie started screaming and was struggling to breathe. The paramedics arrived at their home and they found out her oxygen levels had dropped to 58.
When she was taken to a hospital, she was tested positive for coronavirus.
Ashley and her partner Sean were told to self-isolate after their baby tested positive for Covid-19.
The parents were then banned from sitting next to their baby who is on a ventilator due to quarantine rules.
Ashley shared the heartbreaking pictures of her baby breathing through a respirator on her Facebook with the caption: They said that small babies will sometimes get cold instead of a fever. She’s on a ventilator and sedatives to give her lungs time to rest.”
She said her little daughter is fighting hard against the virus and her family is going to self-isolate for 14 days.
Ashley can’t believe that she doesn’t have the virus but her two-month-old has. She said she still has no symptoms but will be self-isolating for 14 days.
In Cornwall, a one-year-old baby boy tested positive for coronavirus and his parents have warned to take the virus seriously.
After the parents took their baby son for a walk, he became ill. He didn’t struggle to breathe, neither he had a cough but he had a high temperature.
Initially, they thought the baby had been ‘badly teething’ but when his health deteriorated, they called 111 on Mother’s Day and they were told to isolate the baby for 14 days as they suspected he had Covid-19.
The parents described the experience as the ‘horrible thing to go through’ and have now urged to stay at home.
