Newborn in London youngest to be tested positive for COVID-19

A newborn baby in London has become the youngest person to contract the novel coronavirus. The child's mother was rushed to a hospital days before she gave birth as she was suspected to have pneumonia, which is one of the symptoms of the virus.

The mother has also been tested positive for the virus but the results came in after she had given birth. Authorities are not sure whether the child was infected in the womb or after it was born. The duo are being treated at separate hospitals with the mother being moved to a special hospital and the child is still at the first hospital.

Poor baby hope for earliest recovery of the child..
