A newborn, who lost her mother to COVID-19 just days after her birth, is on ventilator support at Bowring and Lady Curzon Hospital in the city. Fortunately, the baby girl has not contracted the infection. The seven-day-old is a preterm baby delivered after eight months of pregnancy by a woman who turned out to be COVID-19 positive. The woman died of complications from the infection on Monday evening. “The baby is moderate preterm and weighs 1.8 kg. In such babies, all the vital organs are not fully developed. The baby has been put on ventilator support, but her condition is stable. We hope the baby will fully develop and come to a normal condition in the next 8-10 days,” said Chikkanarasa Reddy, professor of Paediatrics, Bowring and Lady Curzon Medical College and Research Institute.More Related News
