His 27-year-old mother Lissy had earlier contracted Covid-19, but had recovered. Less than six weeks later, mother and son are both doing well and have been reunited.

On Sunday, Lissy was introduced face-to-face to her newborn son in an emotional reunion. Jorge has grown to 930g and has now tested negative for coronavirus.
