A six-week-old baby has died from coronavirus, becoming what is believed to be America's youngest victim. The child died in Connecticut last week, with test results from last night showing they had Covid-19.
Governor of Connecticut Ned Lamont described the news as 'absolutely heartbreaking' and said the infant is believed to be one of the youngest people to die from the disease.
He tweeted: "It is with heartbreaking sadness today that we can confirm the first pediatric fatality in Connecticut linked to #COVID19.
A 6-week-old newborn from the Hartford area was brought unresponsive to a hospital late last week and could not be revived. "Testing confirmed last night that the newborn was COVID-19 positive.
